Deposit GromaCoin (GRO), Borrow USDC
Groma, Birch Hill Holdings and Yearn are launching a GromaCoin lending vault that lets investors deposit GromaCoin and borrow USDC. The vault combines a compliance layer with permissionless protocols like Morpho and Yearn to create tailored yield products, scalable rent‑vesting financing, and instant liquidity while preserving real‑estate exposure. GromaCoin aims for 8‑10% annual returns, outpacing treasury yields, and the stable‑coin borrowing rate is currently about 4.17%, making the structure attractive for both institutions and retail investors. The platform is expected to go live in Q2 2024 and will initially be available to whitelisted participants before opening to the broader market.
