The curator's description: "Kabu USDC brings stablecoin liquidity to assets other curators avoid. By operating both the oracle and the vault - Api3 can deliver price updates precisely when liquidation thresholds are reached and not only on broad deviations. Combined with Morpho partial liquidation design this added oracle precision allows long tail assets to be supported in a safer and more controlled way. This allows Kabu to operate markets that other curators cannot run safely."

About Kabu USDC

Kabu USDC is a Morpho V2 vault on Ethereum, created on January 1, 2026. It takes USDC deposits and lends them to borrowers in 8 Morpho markets. The curator, Api3, decides which markets it may use and how much can go into each.

It holds $1.57M (1.57M USDC) from 56 depositors and pays a net APY of 7.98% after its 5% performance fee. Over the last 30 days depositors actually earned 6.65% a year. About 2.41% of today's rate comes from USDC rewards, which can stop at any time.

Its largest position is ONDO / USDC at 35% of its deposits, followed by MORPHO / USDC (34%) and wstETH / USDC (19%). Counting every market, its loans are backed mainly by wstETH (34%), ONDO (27%) and MORPHO (25%). 34% of deposits could be withdrawn right now.
