Ethereum's shift to Proof-of-Stake continues to demonstrate measurable benefits. Since The Merge in September 2022:
- Supply reduced by 417,413 ETH
- 1,509,991 ETH burned in 540 days
- Enhanced network security through staking mechanism
- Improved MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) handling
The transition marks a significant milestone in Ethereum's evolution toward greater efficiency and decentralization. Data from ultrasound.money confirms the deflationary effect on ETH supply, validating the network's economic model.
Ethereum’s transition to PoS is proving its worth. Reduced issuance, increased security, and better MEV handling—clear progress towards a more efficient and decentralized network.
🔄 Contango Simplifies ynRWAx Looping

**ynRWAx/USDC is now live on Contango**, streamlining the looping process for YieldNest's real-world asset token. **Key features:** - Automates the complete borrow → swap → re-deposit cycle into a single transaction - Uses flash loans on top of Morpho and Euler protocols - Simplified user experience: select leverage level and confirm **What is ynRWAx looping?** ynRWAx earns ~11% APY from mortgage-backed private credit on Australian real estate. Looping allows users to: - Deposit ynRWAx as collateral - Borrow USDC against it - Buy more ynRWAx with borrowed funds - Repeat to amplify yield exposure The strategy works when ynRWAx yield exceeds USDC borrowing costs, creating a positive spread that compounds with leverage. **Previously available on:** - Morpho (dedicated lending pool) - Euler (with vault-level risk isolation) Contango's integration removes manual complexity from multi-step looping strategies.

ynRWAx Yield Tokenization Now Available on Spectra and Pendle

**Yield tokenization is now available for $ynRWAx**, allowing users to split their tokens into two distinct components: - **PT (Principal Token)**: Provides fixed returns, redeemable at full value at maturity - **YT (Yield Token)**: Offers leveraged exposure to variable yield at a fraction of the capital Users can access this functionality through two platforms: - [Spectra Finance](https://app.spectra.finance/pools/eth:0x8ee494461b402abf3b26cbcb87030847fcbf6183) - [Pendle Finance](https://app.pendle.finance/trade/pools/0xfce3f966a131c46a51b896ceea3917bc4c302577/manual/liquidity/add?chain=ethereum&view=chart) This approach enables users to customize their risk-return profile based on their preferences—choosing between predictable fixed returns or higher-risk variable yield exposure.
YieldNest Explains Yield Looping Strategy Between Real-World Assets and DeFi Borrowing
YieldNest published a guide explaining yield looping strategies that capture the spread between real-world asset yields and DeFi borrowing rates. **The core concept:** - When an asset earns more than it costs to borrow against, users can loop the spread - Process: Deposit asset → borrow stablecoins → buy more of the asset → deposit again - Each cycle amplifies exposure to the yield differential The guide covers: - Mathematical breakdown of the looping mechanism - Platform options for executing the strategy - Associated risks and considerations Full walkthrough available at: [YieldNest Medium](https://medium.com/@yieldnest/ynrwax-looping-capture-the-spread-between-real-world-yield-and-defi-borrow-rates-269de9395cc9) *Note: Content is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.*
Euler V2 Simplifies Leveraged Yield Farming with One-Click Flash Loan Looping

**Euler V2's multiply feature streamlines leveraged yield farming** by automating the entire looping process into a single transaction. **Key features:** - Uses flash loans to execute borrowing, swapping, and resupplying automatically - Vault-to-vault LTV settings optimized for ynRWA - One-click execution eliminates manual multi-step processes This innovation builds on similar functionality previously introduced by [Morpho](https://app.morpho.org/ethereum/borrow), which partnered with Velora DEX to enable position looping across Ethereum, Base, Unichain, and Polygon networks.
YieldNest Launches Real Estate-Backed Restaking Strategy Offering 36% APY
**YieldNest has launched a new delegator on Cap that connects restaked ETH to real-world mortgage credit.** **How it works:** - ETH restakers provide coverage on Cap - YieldNest operators borrow USDC - USDC flows into $ynRWAx (mortgage-backed credit) - ynRWAx earns ~11% APY from Australian real estate mortgages - Yield returns to restakers at 36% APY The system bridges on-chain liquidity with real-world assets, specifically top-tier Australian real estate. This marks a shift toward using restaked assets as collateral for real-world credit markets. The delegator is built in partnership with Cap and Agra, enabling stable, real-time liquidity for private credit deals. Restakers can now earn yield from both network security and mortgage-secured credit simultaneously. [Access the YieldNest Delegator](http://cap.app/delegators/yield-nest)
