Pendle Launches apxUSD on BNB Chain, Offering a 13% Fixed Interest Rate for STRC

2026.05.26 10:53:41

On May 26, DeFi yield protocol Pendle Finance announced that synthetic dollar asset apxUSD (maturing November 2026) from Apyx Finance has officially been integrated into BNB Chain. Users can now access a fixed-income strategy built on STRC via Pendle, with the current fixed APY hitting 13%. Issued by Apyx and collateralized by preferred equity from Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs), apxUSD currently comprises Strive’s SATA and Strategy’s STRC. While apxUSD itself doesn’t generate yield, it can be split into principal tokens (PT) and yield tokens (YT) on Pendle. Pendle notes that YT holders gain access to higher-leverage exposure to Apyx, while PT delivers a fixed return above STRC’s dividend yield. Liquidity providers (LPs), meanwhile, earn both protocol revenue and points-based incentives simultaneously.

Trend-following funds have taken a record short position in global bonds, with the US CPI report expected to be the key determinant of their profit and loss.

According to Bloomberg, data from UBS Group shows that Commodity Trading Advisors (CTAs), which seek to profit from price movements across various asset classes, tripled their underweight positions in bonds in July from two weeks prior. Since then, these bets have remained stable. If the upcoming U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) push Treasury prices higher, the CTAs face the risk of losses. Strategist Nicolas Le Roux noted that a 1-basis-point move in the 10-year Treasury yield ahead of inflation data translates to roughly $300 million in profit or loss for CTAs, with this exposure being the largest UBS has recorded since it began compiling relevant data in 1990.

Over the past year, Lightcap’s internal responsibilities at OpenAI have undergone multiple adjustments, with his latest role being leading "special projects".

His departure comes as OpenAI continues to expand its commercialization efforts, advance enterprise business and strategic partnerships. The company has previously implemented multiple rounds of organizational restructuring, including transferring some COO responsibilities to other executives. Brad Lightcap joined OpenAI in 2018, and prior to that held roles at Y Combinator and JPMorgan Chase. He was one of the key operations and business leaders during OpenAI’s transition from a research institute to a commercial AI company.
