Maple Finance is taking a more practical route in #DeFi by focusing on institutional lending. Their new product, syrupUSDC, offers yield backed by real lending activity, not just speculation and it’s now live through Bitget Earn with up to 20% APY.

Unlike most CEXs that just list #SYRUP , Bitget is getting more involved structurally, while #Binance hasn’t yet made a similar move. It’s an interesting contrast in how platforms approach utility versus exposure in the DeFi space.
