Compare USDT lending rates across 2 markets. The current best supply rate is 3.24% on Aave V3. DeFi lending rates represent the annual percentage yield (APY) earned by suppliers or paid by borrowers on a given asset. Supply APY is determined by the utilization rate of each market — as more capital is borrowed, rates increase to incentivize new deposits. Borrow APY reflects the cost of taking a loan against deposited collateral. Rates vary significantly across protocols and chains due to differences in risk parameters, liquidity depth, and incentive programs. DeFi Terminal polls these rates every 5 minutes directly from on-chain smart contracts, providing accurate, real-time comparisons. When evaluating where to lend or borrow, it is important to consider not only the headline APY but also the total liquidity available, the protocol's risk profile, and the specific chain's gas costs. Higher rates often come with higher risk or lower liquidity.
