EURC earns ~6%, while borrowing USDC costs just 2.5% fixed.
Is this free money?
Not at all.
But it's an interesting example of how @TermMaxFi is turning DeFi into an on-chain carry trade.
Instead of focusing only on APY, look at the capital management strategy behind it:
1. Asset: Deposit EURC to earn yield.
2. Borrow: Use that position as collateral to borrow USDC at a fixed interest rate.
3. Outcome: You keep your EUR exposure while unlocking USDC liquidity to spend or deploy elsewhere.
The interesting part isn't the headline numbers.
It's the structure.
▸ Fixed-rate borrowing: You know your cost of capital upfront instead of worrying about rates changing with the market.
▸ Cash flow management: It works like an on-chain credit line for users who want to keep their underlying assets while accessing liquidity.
Don't just look at the APY or XP.
If markets like EURC/USDC generate genuine borrowing demand, that's a much stronger signal that DeFi is moving toward a more mature credit market.
