Stablecoin Volatility Leads to +20% APY for icETH

The recent turbulence in the banking sector led to a temporary depegging of USDC and various other stablecoins, creating a less than optimal situation.

During this period of instability, icETH's APY surged past 20%, and its total value locked (TVL) approached an all-time high of $19.7 million.

Although USDC has since regained its $1 peg, icETH continues to perform well, highlighting the significance of holding a diversified portfolio of assets to better navigate market fluctuations.

Fidelity Crypto Launches, Giving Millions Access to BTC and ETH

Fidelity Crypto is now open to the public, granting millions of users access to bitcoin and ETH. Previously, the firm's retail product was only accessible through a waitlist, which has now been opened to all users.

Fidelity Digital Assets allows commission-free trading of bitcoin and ether on the platform, with a spread of no more than 1% being charged. Unlike DeFi, it is not available in all states, and withdrawals have not yet been enabled.

Fidelity has over 37.1 million retail clients and has been faster to adopt crypto than many of its US peers. It will be interesting to see if this helps spur the growth of crypto assets amongst retail consumers.
