Last week, @Mantle_Official launched their @aave incentive program, making it the top platform for leveraged investing using @ethena's sUSDe and @maplefinance's syrupUSDT.
Here are a few key points:
► 100 million USDT is available for lending at a 2.7% interest rate.
► Ethena is actively involved in DeFi yield mining, with a scale of $1 billion, including PYUSD, RLUSD, and lending activities on multiple platforms, making it less susceptible to declining basis yields.
► sUSDe currently has an annual interest rate of 3.44%, implying a maximum net leverage of 10.1%.
► syrupUSDT currently has an annual interest rate of 4.5%, with approximately half of its underlying Total Value Locked (TVL) deployed in lending activities on DeFi platforms.
► The 4.5% interest rate equates to a net yield of 20.7% with 10x leverage, but market leverage is currently capped.
Not to mention the USDC market, which offers a lending rate of 1.46%, but with only $8 million available, I wouldn't recommend using leverage due to its greater interest rate volatility.
Finally, lenders can earn approximately 6% yield, which is currently the highest lending rate across all Aave instances.
Note: Ambassador Mantle, Senior Aave Lender.

Xaif Highlights: A document proposes how RLUSD could help XRP's price rise to $5.
Since its launch in December 2024, some proponents of RLUSD have argued that this stablecoin could compete with XRP for institutional adoption.
However, a recent community-written document proposes how RLUSD could complement XRP and enhance its value.
The proposal suggests that banks could deposit $1 billion in RLUSD and use it to buy XRP on exchanges.
In the example order book, 100,000 XRP are priced at $0.50, 50,000 at $1, and 20,000 at $5.
A large RLUSD buy order would offset the lower-priced sell orders, thus pushing XRP's price to $5 or higher.
However, this proposal has some issues, such as actual institutional trading activity and the fact that using RLUSD instead of the US dollar would not necessarily create new demand for XRP.

The XRP community can now create escrow accounts for issued tokens; XLS-85 is officially live, and validators have confirmed it. 🧵🧵🧵
The XRP Ledger has activated the token custody amendment XLS-85, allowing users to create escrow accounts for issued tokens.
Notably, these tokens include Trust Line tokens and Multipurpose Tokens (MPTs). This feature officially launched on February 12th, two weeks after the amendment received validator approval on January 30th, 2026, with 30 XRP Ledger validators voting in favor, reaching the required activation threshold.
The amendment initially received approval from 29 validators in mid-September 2025, but progress was slow due to compatibility issues with the MPT standard, which reduced support to 16.
It's worth noting that the XLS-85 amendment first met the approval threshold in mid-September 2025, when it had 29 validators supporting it. However, a few days later, support dropped to 16 votes due to concerns within the validator community.
XRPL dUNL validator Vet withdrew his vote after discovering that the token custody amendment was incompatible with the newly introduced Multipurpose Token (MPT) standard. This issue affected MPT's custody accounting, particularly in terms of transaction fees and supply tracking.
The community developed a fix, subsequently released as fixTokenEscrowV1. This update corrected the MPT custody accounting issue and became part of rippled v3.0.0 and related releases.
With the network integrating the fix, validators regained confidence in the amendment. As a result, support climbed again, and on January 29, 2026, XLS-85 once again broke the activation threshold. Two weeks later, the network officially launched.
After activation, Vet confirmed that token custody was now operational on the XRP ledger and encouraged community members to see who could be the first user to custody issued assets.
With the activation of XLS-85, custody functionality has now been extended from XRP to fungible tokens, including Trust Line tokens and multipurpose tokens. Users can now lock these assets directly on the XRP ledger under specific conditions. Ripple's stablecoin RLUSD is one such Trust Line token.
However, issuers must enable specific flags before their tokens can be placed in custody. For Trust Line tokens, the issuing account must activate the "Allow Trust Line Locking" flag. For multipurpose tokens, issuers must enable both the "Custodable" and "Transferable" flags when creating the token.
Furthermore, issuers cannot place their own issued tokens into custody, but they can receive custodial tokens. When an issuer receives these assets, the ledger processes the transaction as if it were a direct payment.
Additionally, for tokens requiring authorization, the issuer must pre-authorize the sender before the sender creates custody. Additionally, the issuer must authorize the receiver for custody to complete.
According to the official XRPL developers, the XRP ledger supports three custody types: time-based custody, conditional custody, and combined custody.
It's important to note that time-based escrow locks funds until a set FinishAfter time has elapsed. Once that time arrives, anyone can complete the escrow. If the escrow includes a CancelAfter time and no one completes the transaction before this deadline, the escrow expires and anyone can cancel it. If there is no CancelAfter field, the escrow never expires, and no one can cancel it.
Meanwhile, conditional escrow relies on cryptographic conditions rather than time delays. It is conditionally ready immediately upon creation. Anyone can complete the escrow only if they provide the correct fulfillment information. However, this type of escrow must include a CancelAfter field. If the transaction is not fulfilled by the deadline, the escrow expires.
Interestingly, combined escrow combines these two methods. Escrow funds remain locked until the FinishAfter time has elapsed. After that, correct cryptographic verification is required to release the funds. This can happen if the time for canceling verification is exceeded before verification is completed.
