**BOLD's yield-bearing variants consistently beat conventional safe yield benchmarks** Both yield-bearing $BOLD variants have outperformed what most consider "safe yield" options in the market. The protocol claims BOLD offers superior safety compared to established stablecoins. **Key points:** - BOLD variants delivering yields above reference rates - Protocol positions itself as safer than USDS, USDe, and competing stablecoins - Performance data shows consistent outperformance of traditional benchmarks This development comes as the DeFi ecosystem continues to demonstrate resilience, with Total Value Locked (TVL) maintaining levels above $60 billion despite market volatility. The stablecoin sector remains competitive as protocols seek to balance yield generation with security and stability.

**Liquity V2 now features three isolated collateral branches:** - ETH - wstETH - rETH Each branch operates with its own Stability Pool. When a branch's Stability Pool exceeds its total debt, that branch becomes protected from redemptions. **Key rates:** - rETH: 0.5% (up to 700k) - wstETH: 0.9% - ETH: 2.79% The protocol uses immutable contracts with fixed rates set by individual borrowers. These features are now visible across Liquity frontends at [liquity.app/borrow](http://liquity.app/borrow).

**BOLD stablecoin has secured an A- rating from Bluechip**, making it the only crypto-native stablecoin to achieve an A-tier rating. This places BOLD above established competitors like USDC and DAI, which both received B+ ratings. **Key highlights:** - First crypto-native stablecoin with A-tier rating - Rated higher than USDC (B+) and DAI (B+) - Cannot be frozen, unlike centralized alternatives The rating reflects BOLD's strong fundamentals and decentralized architecture.
