This column aims to cover low-risk yield strategies primarily focused on stablecoins (and their derivative tokens) in the current market, to help users seeking ideal interest-earning opportunities for gradually expanding their capital through USDT-based financial management.
Previous Records
Old Mine Follow-up
Sonic Second Season Airdrop Launched
Sonic's first season airdrop will end on June 18, with the second season launching on the same day, seamlessly connecting to the first season.
Regarding the specific mechanism of the Sonic airdrop, we previously detailed it in the article 《Sonic Airdrop Mechanism Explained: Can the First Season Be Made Up? How to Improve Efficiency in the Second Season?》. In short, the second season cancels passive points from static asset holding, and users will need to actively deploy assets in designated applications within the Sonic ecosystem to earn active points.
From a safety and efficiency perspective, users can simply choose to use Aave for USDC cycle lending (0.31% base yield + 5% additional incentive + 12x Sonic points), or provide LP in the Pendle aUSDC pool (4.44% base yield, which can be amplified to 9.615% with full PENDLE staking, plus 24x Sonic).
New Opportunities
Hyperdrive Mining
On June 17, Hyperliquid ecosystem's stablecoin capital market Hyperdrive officially announced the launch of its first season points plan, allowing users to deposit USDT0 (5.89%) or USDe (4.64%) and HYPE to earn yields and Hyperdrive points.
In May this year, Hyperdrive announced completing a $6 million Series A funding round, led by Hack VC and Arrington Capital, with participation from Delphi Ventures, Proof Group, SIG, Caladan Group, Amber Group, CMS Holdings, Breed VC, and multiple angel investors. The project aims to build a stablecoin money market and yield hub on the Hyperliquid blockchain, offering stablecoin lending and borrowing, HYPE liquid staking, and one-click yield strategies.
Although the current yield rates may not seem outstanding, as a rare DeFi project in the Hyperliquid ecosystem backed by well-known institutions, Hyperdrive's points still have some potential with the rise of Hyperliquid.

infiniFi Integrates Pendle
In the article from June 4, we mentioned that the stablecoin earning protocol infiniFi, which completed a $3 million funding round in February, has officially launched.
Last week, infiniFi announced integration with Pendle, allowing users to provide LP for iUSD, earning an 8.613% base yield rate (which can be amplified to 11.43% with full PENDLE staking) while accumulating points at 4.5x the rate - significantly improving point efficiency compared to direct protocol staking or locking.

Fragmetric NFT "Free Grab" Check
Solana ecosystem's re-staking project Fragmetric will launch the TOPU NFT series on MagicEden tonight, with a total of 10,000 TOPU. According to previous community disclosures, users can expect to receive 0.75% of Fragmetric token allocation.
We have previously recommended several financial and points opportunities on Solana, such as Exponent, Loopscale, RateX, and others. Fragmetric has allocated whitelist quotas to these partner projects, which have distributed them to the community through point rankings. After TOPU minting tonight, whitelisted users will have the opportunity to mint for free.
I checked my main account for RateX and Loopscale and can get the second-stage whitelist (no guarantee of qualification, first come first served). Those who have previously participated in these projects can also check.
