Yearn launches yvUSD cross-chain USDC vault

Yearn released yvUSD, a new cross-chain USDC vault introduced in Q1 2026, which uses cross-chain strategies to broaden users' yield opportunities. The vault automatically handles bridging and asset allocation across other networks, so users don't need to manually move stables between different chains and L2s to chase better yields.

• Strategies provide exposure to yields on chains including Katana and Base, reallocating automatically if APYs move.
• Positioned as a set-and-forget alternative to manual bridging for yield farming.
