Origin Protocol's ARM Vaults are expanding into DeFi integrations, starting with **Pendle Finance** tomorrow. **Key Details:** - stETH and OS ARM vaults will integrate with top protocols - First integration enables directional trades on LST pegs - Builds on ARM's existing 8.7% APY performance **Background Context:** The stETH ARM has shown strong momentum with 80% TVL growth this month. The vault automatically arbitrages stETH/ETH pricing discounts while earning lending yield through Morpho Labs. **What This Means:** - ARM vault tokens become composable across DeFi - New use cases: lending, borrowing, fixed yield options - Enhanced utility for existing vault depositors This marks the next phase of ARM's evolution from simple arbitrage to broader DeFi integration.
