# Aave vs Morpho vs Compound: Which Lending Protocol for Your Stablecoin Treasury?
Treasuries evaluating DeFi yield need a rigorous comparison. Cover: 1) Aave V3 — battle-tested, $12B TVL, USDC supply APY 3-5%, governance risk is low, audited 20+ times. Pro: deepest liquidity, instant withdrawal. Con: lower yields due to efficiency. 2) Morpho Blue — permissionless markets, USDC APY 4-7%, curated vaults by Gauntlet/Steakhouse. Pro: higher yields via optimized matching. Con: newer protocol, thinner liquidity in some markets. 3) Compound V3 — single-asset markets, USDC APY 3-4%, COMP rewards boost effective yield. Pro: simplest model, institutional adoption (Coinbase treasury uses it). Con: lowest base yield. Compare on: historical yield consistency (30/60/90-day averages), max drawdown events, audit history, withdrawal latency, regulatory clarity. Include a decision matrix: use Aave for >$10M (deepest liquidity), Morpho for $1-10M (best risk-adjusted yield), Compound for regulatory-sensitive allocations (cleanest governance).
