RAMP DeFi | IoTeX – Unlocks New Liquidity
To begin the DeFi updates of the week, decentralized protocol, RAMP – focused on boosting DeFi adoption – has entered a strategic partnership with IoTeX. The platform functions by allowing non-Ethereum (ETH) users to stake tokens on ETH platforms.
The partnership will provide IoTeX liquidity providers (LPs) with improved capital efficiency. Interested persons will be able to collateralize IOTX-BUSD assets while earning APY as high as 158%. IoTeX vault is live on RAMP V2. Depositing LP assets in the RAMP vault will make it possible to mint rUSD stablecoin. The minted rUSD stablecoins can then be wrapped with fiat-backed stablecoins such as USDT and USDC across multiple blockchain networks.
We are excited to partner with @RampDefi to unlock new liquidity for $IOTX holders!
Starting now, collateralize your @PancakeSwap LP tokens to get rUSD and earn yield-on-yield on RAMP as you continue to enjoy APY of up to 158% on BSC!
