Over $10 billion is now sitting in crypto lending vaults.
Here's the question more investors should ask: Who is actually paying the yield?
New Financial Times reporting shows deposits have grown from roughly $4 billion at the beginning of 2025 to over $10 billion.
These vaults can lend deposited assets or deploy them through managed strategies. But an advertised APY doesn't explain the underlying risks.
Before depositing, investigate:
1. Where does the return come from?
2. Who controls the lending strategy?
3. What happens if borrowers default or withdrawals surge?
4. Does the arrangement involve interest-based lending?
For Muslim investors, a smart contract does not automatically make a financial arrangement Shariah-compliant. The actual lending terms, source of returns and ownership structure matter.
A high APY is a number. Understanding the contract is the real research.
Would you trust a DeFi vault without knowing exactly how its yield is generated?
