Decentralized USD (DefiChain) (DUSD)

I'm glad to see product thinking over pure volume. Margin earning yield via DUSD, fees feeding depth, and Maker Points for passive limit orders actually changes participant incentives. Early, but this feels like a real flywheel.

Real capital efficiency in next-gen commodity carry trades on @StandX_Official

Most traders are overlooking a large hidden cost:
→ idle margin capital that doesn’t earn yield.

On traditional venues, margin only serves as collateral,
while PnL must fully cover funding, fees, and slippage.

StandX introduces a structural difference by allowing margin to be held as DUSD earning ~5.55% APY,
while maintaining exposure to $XAU and $XAG pairs.

→ This is especially relevant because most commodity strategies focus more on carry, funding, and risk management than pure directional bets.

From an execution standpoint, I don’t expect XAU/XAG on StandX to immediately compete with major CEXs on volume.

But with ~800 BTC depth within 10 bps, low slippage, and the Maker Uptime Program,
liquidity at a mid scale is clean enough to deploy carry trades, delta-neutral setups, or light market making.

What matters most to me is the cost of capital differential.

When margin both preserves exposure and generates yield,
the way I calculate capital efficiency changes entirely.

For strategies sensitive to funding and capital utilization,
this is a measurable edge, not a theoretical one.

This is above and beyond what should be expected and in my opinion solidifies Saul's reputation as a good actor in this space.

It's completely reasonable to profit from depeg arbitrage. Purchasing under NAV helps mitigate the depeg & shows confidence in the underlying asset. https://t.co/6zgRTejQ10
