Stablecoins are often known as a tool for users to trade to make profits in the crypto market, they themselves do not bring profits to the holder. For example, when you hold 100 USDT for 1 year, you still only have 100 USDT, and their value may even decrease due to inflation.

However, there are stablecoins that automatically generate profits (also known as interest-bearing, yield-bearing stablecoins) when you own them, so let's learn about some of these stablecoins to increase profits when participating in the market.

1. eUSD

What is eUSD?

eUSD is the Lybra Finance project's stablecoin, pegged 1:1 to USD, created by collateralizing LST assets such as stETH, rETH or other assets accepted by the protocol and then minting eUSD. At the time of this article, there are 156 million eUSD minted and circulating in the market - in the top 20 stablecoins with the largest capitalization.

The most special feature of eUSD is that it can generate profits for the owner with an APY of about 8%, however it should be noted that eUSD has a Service Fee of 1.5%, meaning the APY after deducting fees is about 7 .7%.

Lybra Finance says that eUSD is pegged 1:1 to USD, so what is the mechanism to ensure eUSD is always equal to 1 USD?

Mechanism 1: Overcollateralization

By maintaining the collateral ratio at a minimum of 160% with eUSD, for every 1 eUSD there will be at least 1.5 USD LST guaranteed, thereby ensuring the value of eUSD and peUSD

Mechanism 2: Liquidation mechanism

When a user's loan position falls below the safe collateral ratio, anyone can liquidate that position by buying back the collateralized portion of LST, paid in eUSD. It will ensure stability for eUSD and safety for the protocol

Mechanism 3: Arbitrage trading

This mechanism is relatively common with stablecoins of CDP projects. With eUSD, arbitrage opportunities arise when the eUSD price deviates from the 1 USD level. Users can take advantage of these price differences to make a profit and help restore the eUSD price to 1 USD

eUSD price per 1 USD: Users can mint new eUSD by depositing ETH as collateral with 1eUSD = 1 USD and then sell the newly minted eUSD on the DEX at market price. As more eUSD is sold, the market supply increases, pushing the price back down to 1 USD

eUSD price below 1 USD: If the eUSD price drops below 1 USD, users can buy eUSD at a discount on the market and then exchange it in the Lybra Protocol for 1 USD worth of ETH (LST). When users buy undervalued eUSD, demand increases, pushing the price back to 1 USD. Users can keep the redeemed ETH or sell it, profiting from the price difference.

Mechanism 4: Price "stabilization" fund

Stability Fund is an eUSD fund obtained from Advance Vesting Bounty and dLP Bounty activities, aimed at maintaining the stability of eUSD

How to use eUSD

As the title of this article states, users can hold eUSD to receive an APY of ~7.7%, or can use it in Defi applications such as buying, selling, and investing in tokens; provide liquidity for eUSD trading pairs; or arbitrage trading for profit and future use cases.

How to own eUSD

The mechanism of eUSD is similar to Maker DAO's DAI, and Lybra Finance can be said to be a lending protocol, allowing users to mortgage LST to mint eUSD with a minimum collateral rate of 160%. Besides, users can use USDT, USDC to buy eUSD on Curve Finance

2. OUSD

What is OUSD?

OUSD is a stablecoin created by Origin Protocol, this stablecoin was created with the main purpose of helping users make profits easier with Yield Farming by providing an expected interest rate of 6.64% APY (at the moment).

OUSD is owned by using USDT, USDC or DAI to swap to OUSD, then the project will use these assets to earn profits on Defi protocols. The difference of the project is that the profit margin can be higher than usual.

OUSD's most recent integration example is the integration of DSR - a mechanism to keep Maker DAO's DAI stablecoin exchange rate, allowing users to deposit DAI with the highest interest rate of up to 8%. This means the project sends collateral DAI (or buys DAI with USDT, USDC) to mint users' OUSD

This DSR mechanism does not allow US users to participate, so through OUSD, US users can still receive DSR interest rates.

1 OUSD is bought with 1 USDT, USDC or DAI, so the total circulating supply of OUSD is guaranteed by the corresponding amount of stablecoin, so there is basically no need for an additional exchange rate guarantee mechanism.

How to use OUSD

The main purpose of OUSD is to help users profit from Yield Farming without doing much work, so the best use of OUSD is probably to hold it and receive interest.
