Curve Best Yields & Key Metrics | Week 35, 2026

Rates are estimated annualized returns for a modeled $100,000 deposit after pool dilution. They include base fees, unboosted CRV and active Merkl rewards where applicable. Rates are variable and not guaranteed. Data snapshot: 27 August 2026.

What supports the leading rates: MUSD/USDC/USDT earns 0.27% in base fees against 22.57% in incentives. frxUSD/USG earns 0.25% in base fees against 16.88% in incentives. The relevant pools range from $0.65 million to $2.38 million. sUSG/reUSD is more fee-supported, with 8.98 percentage points of its 23.66% rate coming from fees.

crvUSD remained close to its target price at $0.9998 while PegKeeper reserves increased to $65 million. Lending and DEX activity also expanded, although the data below does not establish individual-loan health, bad debt or lender withdrawability. Peg, reserves and bad debt are health indicators; TVL, borrowing, swaps and volume are activity indicators, and aggregate collateral growth does not show that individual loans became better covered.

Reserves grew by more than the whole PegKeeper balance stood at two weeks ago.

Volume grew far faster than swap count, so the average trade was about half as large again.

Fees here are DEX pool fees only; crvUSD minting fees and Llamalend fees appear in their own sections.

Vote 1475 raised the DAO’s crvUSD credit line to the sreUSD LlamaLend market from $15 million to $30 million.

sreUSD is the yield-bearing version of Resupply’s reUSD stablecoin. Holders can use it as collateral to borrow crvUSD without selling their position—either to access liquidity or to build a leveraged loop with greater exposure to sreUSD yield.

At the publication snapshot, the market had $36.4 million supplied and $23.7 million borrowed, with 65% utilization, a 0.50% variable borrow rate and a 0.33% supply APY.

Preference vote passed; the binding funding vote is still open. Vote 1478 — a non-binding preference vote — closed and executed on 22 August with 536.9 million CRV in favour and none against. Vote 1492, which funds the mandate closes on 2 September.

The tables below are the reference layer: every market that moved this week, for readers who want to inspect the full set rather than the highlights above.

OETH/WETH took the largest weight gain of the week; the three msUSD pools gave up the most.

The two crvUSD/WETH lines are different pools: one took in $22.8M, the other gave back $19.1M.

wstETH alone accounts for most of the week's growth in crvUSD debt.

sfrxUSD sits on both sides again: one market borrowed $1.51M more, another repaid $1.33M.
