Need some help
You can lend it to marginfi for around 3.5 apy currently
Lend it on marginfi, or hold on coinbase
Solend is another good way to go. Lend it to them and keep it in solana ecosystem.
Stake sol natively via marinade finance
You can earn APY by providing liquidity on the USDC pool on Drift Protocol, i’ve been using it for a few weeks & it’s really good so far. Read on them before doing so, always DYOR!
De.fi - check yields and TVL
Check partners and more, plan and stake
Best to provide liquidity in safe manner in safer protocols
AAVE.
Stake on AAVE platform. APY 7.87% on Polygon network.You can provide liquidity with your sol + usdc and get a nice apr. 25-30%+. Raydium, orca, etc
I can’t say it’s 100% safe, the defi protocol will be the point of failure. But it’s super unlikely. There is also IL.
You can stake your SOL natively with any wallet that can connect to a validator. I use ledger. But solflare is another.
Coinbase 5%
This is an excellent question. However a lot of places you can earn interest on usdc without even having to stake it. Try coinbasewallet. I don’t necessarily use USDC but, I did see they offer (I think) like 5.22% for just holding it doesn’t say anything about having to stake it like with eth, sol, dot, or matic. I personally don’t ever hold USDC at all let alone enough to earn anything though so I could be mistaken. Hope this helps. Wish I could offer more
Very simple. Single side USDC (ETH) deposit to ThorChain with instant withdrawal and no IL, presently delivering real annual yield of > 20% (24.56%) variable at time of posting. You can access this through a number of front end D’Apps eg ThorSwap as an easy one click process provided you hold the USDC in one of its integrated wallets eg Trust Wallet, XDefi etc .
How are they able to do this? Sounds like a future rug pull? I’ve no idea what I am talking about. Can you please explain?

You can’t stake USDC, but like others have said, you can earn interest on it in Coinbase.
Gm. Are you also growing your sol? Get some sol, stake with validator.com, and off you go. For USDC there is always risk. I like the returns in jup.ag in the JLP peeps program. Also in drift.trade in their insurance program. Returns are much higher but have risks.
I wouldnt even bother for 3% in margainfi or whatever. Risk, which is low, isn’t worth the reward imo
