Stablecoin issuers are now among the top 20 holders of US Treasury bills.
mUSD supply on Aave V3 (Ethereum). Read-only on Sharpe — deposits, withdrawals, and borrows execute on app.aave.com. We surface parameters, rates, and risk so you can compare this reserve against Morpho vaults on the same asset cohort.
Plain-English summary of this vault — what it does, who runs it, where the yield comes from, and what could break it. Generated from the same deterministic inputs shown elsewhere on this page; the numbers are the source, this is just the explanation.
You deposit mUSD and it is lent out to borrowers at a variable rate. Your deposit earns 2.65% APY, calculated from the 4.38% borrowers pay, multiplied by the 76.3% utilization rate, minus the 20% reserve factor that goes to Aave's treasury. You can redeem your deposit at any time up to the $8.0k available liquidity in the reserve; beyond that you queue for repayments. mUSD cannot be used as collateral in this reserve—borrow-only.
Aave governance has not flagged any unusual restrictions; the reserve operates under standard Aave V3 rules.
Supply APY tracks borrow demand. At 76.3% utilization, the reserve sits in a mid-range demand zone where rates are neither compressed by excess supply nor spiking from scarcity. The 20% reserve factor means 80 cents of every dollar of borrower interest flows to suppliers.
The reserve carries a risk score of 15/100 and no elevated-severity risks are flagged. The material constraint is liquidity: $8.0k available against $33.7k supplied means redemptions beyond that threshold will wait for borrower repayments.
Good fit for allocators seeking modest yield on a low-risk stablecoin if they hold for steady repayment cycles and don't need instant redemption above $8k.
On Aave V3, a supplier can withdraw up to the reserve's available liquidity instantly. Above that, the withdrawal must wait for borrowers to repay or new suppliers to deposit. Markets at 95%+ utilization can keep large redemptions waiting for hours to days at current rates.
Reserve parameters are set by Aave governance (BGD Labs + Aave Chan Initiative + Risk Council). Listings, caps, IRM curves, and LLTVs change through on-chain votes.
This reserve isn't usable as collateral, so LTV / Liquidation LLTV / liquidation bonus don't apply. Borrowers can take it against other collateral; suppliers earn the variable rate driven by borrow demand.
On Aave V3, supply APY = borrow APY × utilization × (1 − reserve factor). There is no curator skim; the only intermediation cost is the reserve factor, which funds the Aave treasury. No emissions slice in v1 of this integration — the headline is fully sustainable.
Aave V3 reserves carry parameter risk (LTV/LLTV adequacy vs collateral volatility), liquidity risk (high utilization slows exit), and depeg risk on the underlying. Governance can pause / freeze / adjust caps in response to incidents. Sharpe's full risk decomposition for Aave reserves rolls in v1.1.

Per-collateral decomposition: Sharpe-style realized σ from 30 daily log returns, blended 50/50 with the asset-taxonomy tier fallback. Phase 2 will replace the tier slot with liquidity depth, mechanism classification, and holder concentration. Methodology in /methodology.

Aave V3 prices and liquidations route through Chainlink's aggregator feed for this asset. A stale, manipulated, or wrong-side update is the protocol's largest single-point-of-failure for this reserve. Chainlink has a strong track record but the failure mode is binary.
Aave V3 has been live since March 2022 with significant TVL and continuous third-party audits. Historical incidents have been contained but the protocol surface is large (Pool / aTokens / debtTokens / IRM / Oracle / UiHelpers). Treat as bounded but non-zero tail risk.
