What happened

Pendle launched yield markets for Coinbase tokenized stocks on Base, adding GOOGLc (24 Dec 2026) and NVDAc (7 Jan 2027), each pool with $20K USDC LP incentives paid by @merkl_xyz plus swap fees and PENDLE incentives. The Pendle High Yield USDC vault on Morpho passed $16M TVL about a day after launch, up from $15M, co-curated by Armitage and Wintermute, with net APY about 8%. Google and Nvidia stock tokens now have pools on Pendle with $20K USDC per pool on @merkl_xyz.

Why it matters

This is the first time in this week's posts that Google and Nvidia exposure shows up as yield-bearing DeFi positions rather than just tradeable tokens. Traders on X can now access GOOGLc and NVDAc pools with swap fees, PENDLE incentives and USDC rewards, and the Morpho USDC vault's jump to $16M suggests demand for the structure.

Angles

  • Tokenized equities in DeFi: GOOGLc and NVDAc now earn swap fees, PENDLE incentives and USDC rewards
  • Pair-trade framing around GOOGL vs META on @risextrade

Formats in use

  • quote-post
  • data-and-incentive breakdown

Risks

  • The $20K USDC per-pool incentives and APY figures are claims from the posts; no market data was provided to verify them.
  • Some posts read as promotional (RiseX referral link, Pendle incentive callouts) and should be treated as likely coordinated promotion.
