How this rate has behaved
BUSD0 shows up in 3 pools here, with rates from 0.06% to 3.35% APY across 2 chains — the rate depends on which protocol and chain you pick, not just the token.
3 of these 3 pools have a trustworthy 30-day average on file, with a median of 2.90% — a useful check against today's number for whether the rate is steady or just having a good day.
2 of 3 pools blend in incentive or reward APY on top of the base rate. Incentive yield decays over time as reward programs run down — the base rate is the more durable number.
| Protocol | APY | 30d Mean APY | Yield mix |
|---|---|---|---|
| usual-usd0 | 3.35% | 2.90% | 100.00% incentives |
| curve-dex | 0.06% | 0.05% | Base rate |
| usual-usd0 | 3.35% | 2.90% | 100.00% incentives |
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 — 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.
