📊 RWA Yield Mystery
Risk-tranching approach transforms how tokenized real-world assets integrate with DeFi yield trading markets.
Traditional RWAs face integration challenges:
- Lack speculative incentives like governance tokens
- Limited appeal for yield speculation
- Constrained market liquidity
Sophisticated risk-tranching solution:
- Enables leveraged investors to absorb higher risk
- Transfers excess yield potential at discount
- Creates vibrant yield derivatives market
- Amplifies RWAs' stable returns
This structured finance framework serves dual purposes:
- Leveraged investors get predictable yield spreads
- Speculators pursue leveraged returns with small capital
Key benefits:
- Addresses DeFi liquidity constraints
- Improves exit inefficiencies
- Enhances RWAs' product-market fit
- Bridges traditional and decentralized finance
The mechanism aligns RWAs with DeFi's dynamic recursive staking strategies, creating new opportunities for both conservative and speculative investors.
Yield trading is a pivotal mechanism in DeFi, enabling speculation on future asset yields with limited downside and uncapped upside potential. However, tokenized real-world assets (RWAs)—backed by stable, predictable cash flows and fixed durations—face challenges integrating into

**USDE strategies spotlight** reveals new yield opportunities through Pendle's Principal Token system. Key strategies include: - **PT-USDe on Plasma** (15JAN2026): 5.59% APY with 3.03% borrow cost - **PT-srUSDe on ETH** (15JAN2026): 7.91% APY with 6.99% USDC borrow cost These strategies use **borrow loops** to amplify returns through fixed APYs tied to specific maturity dates. The approach provides diversified yield farming options but comes with important considerations. **Key risks to consider:** - Early redemption can significantly reduce effective returns - Borrow costs must be factored into net gains - Maturity dates create time-locked commitments Most other stablecoin yield strategies showed only minor numerical adjustments this week, with TVL changes reflecting normal market flows. No major protocol additions or deletions occurred. *Always research thoroughly before investing - this is not financial advice.*

**Major npm Package Attack Hits 47M Weekly Downloads**
The popular npm package **"error-ex"** with 47 million weekly downloads was compromised by attackers. The malicious code redirected MetaMask transactions to hacker-controlled addresses using visually similar addresses to deceive users during transaction signing. **Cian Platform Status:** - ✅ **All systems safe** - comprehensive audit of 5 frontend projects found zero compromised packages - ✅ **Extra precautions taken** - all package versions locked, updates paused until threat clears **Security Recommendations:** - **Hardware wallet users:** Enable clear signing, verify every address digit-by-digit - **Software wallet users:** Consider pausing on-chain transfers temporarily - **Developers:** Check dependency versions immediately, rollback or lock to safe versions Alephium also confirmed their wallets remain unaffected by the supply chain attack.
