When DeFi’s biggest flex is locking 11.92% yield on U.S. Treasuries, you know the game’s changed.
TL;DR (The Nugget)
Pendle just became the second-largest holder of a tokenized Treasury product in 15 hours.
Real yield. Fixed income. RWA dominance.
This isn’t hype—it’s DeFi infrastructure.
Next breakout level: $3.50. Watch the volume.
The Breakdown
What is Pendle?
Pendle lets you tokenize future yield and trade it.
Think of it like slicing a yield-bearing asset in two:
One half is principal
The other is future interest
You can trade both.
That means strategies like:
Fixed income farming
Yield speculation
LP optimization with predictable returns
Pendle’s AMM supports time-decaying assets—which makes it the first legit fixed yield market in crypto.

The CryptoNuggs Take
Pendle isn’t a yield farm.
It’s DeFi’s fixed-income layer—and it just got institutional.

That’s not normal. That’s power.

It’s defining the category.
