Liquidity providers on the Aerodrome decentralized exchange, operating on the Base network, are currently earning triple-digit annual percentage rates. These yields are generated through a combination of AERO token emissions and trading fees within pools paired with USDC.
The platform offers tokenized US equities, including Nvidia, Apple, and Meta, represented as B20 tokens. Each token is backed 1:1 by actual shares held in regulated custody, distinguishing the model from synthetic asset experiments.
Non-US users can trade these assets 24/7 using crypto wallets. The tokens support full DeFi composability, allowing them to be used as collateral, lent, or integrated into automated strategies via platforms like Revert.finance.
Following the late August launch, initial APRs for pairs like NVDA/USDC and AAPL/USDC ranged from 29.6% to 49.5%. Shortly after the rollout, trading volume across four liquidity pools reached approximately $103 million, with the NVDA/USDC pair recording over $11.2 million in 24-hour volume.
