SBI VC Trade launches regulated USDC lending in Japan (reported)
Bottom line: a regulated way to earn on USDC
As reported, in March 2026 SBI VC Trade launched regulated lending of the USD stablecoin USDC. A high headline yield (reported at 10% annualized) was an intro campaign — capped and time-limited; standard rates are lower.
Key points
- Regulated USDC lending launched (as reported).
- The high intro rate is capped and temporary; standard rates are lower.
- "High yield" also means counterparty and platform risk.
How lending works — and the risk
Lending means lending your assets to earn interest. If the borrower or platform fails, funds may not be returned. "Higher yield = higher risk" still holds; USDC also carries a small depeg risk.
Not a deposit
