πŸ”Ž RESEARCH: What happens when crypto’s yield premium disappears just as SMEs face a funding drought?

After seven Fed rate hikes in 2022, 10-year Treasury yields surpassed low-risk DeFi yields for the first time. By year-end, Treasuries yielded about 3.9%, compared with roughly 2.4% for low-risk DeFi.
