đšReal Yield Is Back (But Not How You Think)
Everyoneâs talking about the âreturn of real yield.â
But letâs be honest most of whatâs being called âreal yieldâ in 2025 is still built on emissions, hidden leverage, or rehypothecation loops.
The true real yield protocols are the ones that generate consistent cash flow from real economic activity, not speculation.
Examples?
@aaveAave earns from lending markets with billions in stablecoin volume.
@GMX_IO redistributes trading fees to stakers, not inflationary tokens.
@reserveprotocol channels yield from collateralized, on-chain assets into decentralized index structures (DTFs).
What weâre seeing now is a quiet shift from ponzinomics to protocol economics.
The question for the next cycle isnât âWhere can I get 30% APY?â
Itâs: âWhich protocol generates revenue that survives a bear market?â
Thatâs where sustainable wealth will come from.
đĄ Real yield = real users = real value.

Aave Overview October 2025 đ§
âą Total Value Locked (TVL): â $10.6 B (@DefiLlama)
âą Daily Borrow Volume: ~$450 M across v2 & v3
âą Top Assets: USDC (â 34 %), ETH (â 29 %), stETH (â 15 %)
âą Revenue (30 days): ~$9.3 M in protocol fees
Whatâs impressive:
Aave v3âs âportal architectureâ now connects 8 chains â from Ethereum â Base â Optimism â and maintains deep liquidity on all.
Still the benchmark for decentralized credit markets scalable, risk-managed, and quietly evolving into a multi-chain money layer.

GMX Protocol Stats October 2025 đ
âą TVL: â $580 M (@DefiLlama)
âą Cumulative Trading Volume: > $220 B since launch
âą Fees Generated (30 days): ~$7.5 M
âą GMX Stakers APR: â 6.1 % (real yield from trading fees)
âą Top Chains: Arbitrum & Avalanche
GMX remains the leading decentralized perpetuals DEX, with transparent, fee-driven yield instead of token emissions.
In a sector full of leverage farming, GMX keeps proving that organic volume + sustainable revenue = real yield.

Reserve Protocol Update â October 2025 đĄ
âą Total Value Locked: â $470 M (across eUSD & DTFs)
âą Monthly $RSR Burn (JulyâSept avg.): â 1.2 M RSR per month
âą Active DTFs: 4 (Broad Market, Yield, Ecosystem & Sector indexes)
âą Base Chain integration: live since September â ~35 % gas savings
The design is shifting from single stable assets toward diversified on-chain index funds essentially tokenized portfolios managed by smart contracts.
The Fee-Switch now directs 10 % of protocol profits to the Treasury â transparent, sustainable burn mechanism.
Long-term vision: turning DeFi diversification into a base-layer primitive.
