According to @ai_9684xtpa, the lending APY for USDT on the Aave protocol has surged to a six-month high of 16.01%. This sharp increase in demand for borrowing USDT is reminiscent of market conditions during the last Bitcoin (BTC) All-Time High in December of the previous year. The source notes that this trend is accompanied by a recent issuance of 1 billion USDT and a rise in Binance's USDT savings rate to 4%, suggesting that leveraged funds are positioning themselves for significant market moves.
