There’s been a surprising amount of chatter about U.S. Treasury Bills in crypto circles lately. Today, Maple Finance opened up its Treasury Bills pool to accredited (read: wealthy) U.S. investors. Earlier this week, stablecoin deposits on Maker soared as the DAI interest rate hit 8%—thanks, in part, to real-world assets like T-bills. And even Coinbase has seen an increasing portion of its revenue come from Treasury Bills. All the more reason to watch tomorrow’s CPI report, which could shed light on whether the Fed will raise rates again in September.
Summer is here – and along with sun, sand and good vibes, crypto exchange Coinbase is celebrating Onchain Summer, a multi-week showcase of onchain art, music, gaming and more.
