How this rate has behaved
AAVEUSDC shows up in 2 pools here, with rates from 2.48% to 3.99% APY across 2 chains โ the rate depends on which protocol and chain you pick, not just the token.
2 of these 2 pools have a trustworthy 30-day average on file, with a median of 8.03% โ a useful check against today's number for whether the rate is steady or just having a good day.
All 2 pools pay a plain base rate right now โ no incentive or reward APY mixed in.
1 of 2 pools carries impermanent-loss risk, meaning a two-sided position can lose value against just holding, even while it earns yield.

The 30-day average comes straight from DefiLlama and only appears when it passes the same sanity rail as every other number on this page โ a dash means it didn't clear that bar, not that it's being hidden. Every pool here already clears a $100K minimum TVL. Rates move daily, so treat this as a snapshot, not a promise.
