#StakeUSD1Earn8.26%APR

💵 Bitcoin is below $59,000 Ethereum is at $1,567. Mica just started today. Getting 8.26% APR on stable money is the best trade right now.

Let me show you why this is an idea today. Today is the day of the third quarter of 2026. Bitcoin just had its quarter since 2022. It went down 20% in the second quarter and is now at $58,294 and still falling. Ethereum is at $1,567. People are really scared. The Fear and Greed index is at 12 which means Extreme Fear. A strategy to buy back $2 billion worth of Bitcoin only worked for one day before all the gains were lost as Bitcoin slipped below $59,000. MiCA is now in effect which means 83% of exchanges that were already registered have to close down. Trump said he has over $100 million in Bitcoin and Ethereum which is causing uncertainty about whether there is a conflict of interest. The big picture has not changed. The PCE is at a 3 year high the yen is at a 40 year low. People are betting that the Fed will raise interest rates in July.

In this situation putting your money in USD1 and getting 8.26% APR is not a bad alternative. It is a decision.

Here is a comparison that matters. The 30-year Treasury yields 5.1%. This is considered a safe investment.. Usd1 at 8.26% APR is better than that by over 316 basis points.. It has something that the Treasury does not. You can get your money back anytime you want. There is no maturity date, no discount and no waiting for settlement. You start getting rewards the day after you put in your money. They are sent to your account every day.

This is especially important at the start of the quarter. The CLARITY Act is going to be voted on in the Senate this week. Citi thinks Bitcoin could go up to $143,000 if it passes. SK Hynix is going to be listed on Nasdaq in 9 days. The Iran-US Doha talks could help with energy inflation. The NFP report is coming out on Thursday. Any of these things could make the market go up quickly. You will want to have money ready to invest. Not locked away waiting for it to mature.

If you put in $20,000 at 8.26% APR you will get about $1,652 per year. That is $138 per month. You get this money every day automatically while you wait for the time to invest in riskier assets again.

July 1 is the start of a quarter a new era of regulation, in Europe and a new set of things that could affect the market. Getting 8.26% APR while you wait for the market to become clearer is not a thing.

It is the thing to do in this market.

Now that we are starting the quarter with Bitcoin at $58,000 and MiCA in effect. What percentage of your money are you going to keep in stablecoin yield while you wait for the market to recover?
