🎯 Sonic's New Volatility Play
**Pendle launches ARM-WS-OS yield market on Sonic Labs** A new type of yield market is now live, allowing traders to tokenize and trade future yields from Origins OS arbitrage. **How ARM-WS-OS works:** - Earns yield by arbitraging OS token price spreads - Higher volatility = higher yields - Captures differences between market pricing and underlying value **Key use cases:** - Speculate on OS volatility through Yield Tokens (YT) - Lock in fixed yield from the OS ARM vault - Provide liquidity to earn trading fees and incentives **What makes this unique:** - First volatility-based yield market native to Sonic - Generates yield through protocol-driven arbitrage - Supports OS peg stability while creating meaningful returns This follows Pendle's recent launch of a similar stETH volatility market on Ethereum, expanding arbitrage-based yield opportunities across chains.

Origin's ARM Vaults Launch Pendle Integration
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.
