Coinbase is launching its Morpho-powered DeFi Earn product in Brazil, allowing users to earn market-driven rewards on USDC holdings. The initiative aims to increase stablecoin utility by enabling users to lend assets through an audited vault without lock-up periods.
Users allocate USDC through the Coinbase app, which is then deposited into the Morpho protocol to match lenders and borrowers on-chain, with rewards managed by an audited vault.
