Earning yield from DeFi has never been easier. DeFi vaults now handle almost everything for you. You only need to choose the vault or the curator managing it. Before, if you had $10K USDC and wanted to earn yield, you usually had to choose the protocol, market, collateral, and monitor the risk yourself. Now you choose a yield vault, and the curator manages the rest. According to the latest report from @vaultsfyi: > $11.29B in curated vaults > 856 vaults > 131 curators > 18 DeFi protocols Over the past year, the market share of curated vaults has also grown from around 5% → 12%. > Supply-side DeFi TVL ↓ ~41% > Curated vault TVL ↑ ~39% > 70% of curated TVL is managed by the top 5 curators. More capital is being handed to teams like @SteakhouseFi, @gauntlet_xyz, @SentoraHQ... to decide where to deploy it and manage risk on behalf of depositors. And curators are also increasingly being integrated behind exchanges, fintechs, neobanks, and wallets. They are removing the barriers around complexity and knowledge, making it easier to onboard users into DeFi. I think Vault szn is coming.
