As Treasury yields sink, Spark’s $100 million move into Superstate’s regulated crypto carry fund signals DeFi’s pivot toward uncorrelated yield sources. Decentralized finance (DeFi) lending protocol Spark has rotated a portion of its treasury reserves from US government bonds into crypto-native yield strategies, signaling new approaches to onchain yield generation as Treasury returns continue to compress.

Meanwhile, BNB, the native token of Binance’s BNB Chain, has set new all-time highs twice this month.
