According to monitoring by @EmberCN, investment firm ParaFi Capital withdrew 56 million SKY from Coinbase Prime an hour ago, worth about $2.98 million. Ember indicated that ParaFi had swapped 42,500 AAVE for 70 million SKY back in early March this year when AAVE was priced around $124. Currently, ParaFi holds about 126 million SKY, valued at roughly $6.64 million, with an unrealized loss of about $1.72 million. https://t.co/TGQimVelTt

.@SkyEcosystem is running one of the best cashflow businesses in crypto right now, and the market hasn't priced it yet.

Q1 2026 numbers:
> Gross revenue hit $123.79M, up 56.8% QoQ
> Net revenue margin of 49%
> Net surplus of $46M (compared to a $13.5M loss in Q1 2025)

The driver is boring, but it's growing exponentially. More dollars parked in the Savings Rate is more revenue, and sUSDS deposits grew 71.7% in a single quarter to $6.49B.

What's interesting is what they're doing with the cash. Instead of dumping it back out as yield, Sky is hoarding it, filling a backstop reserve toward a 150M USDS "Turbo-Fill Floor," currently ~$85M and climbing ~$10M/month. It's worth mentioning that Sky's Q1 report projected ~$75M by June 30, so expectations are currently being exceeded.

They literally cut buybacks from 75% to 7.5% of surplus to do it. Short-term that doesn't sound too attractive, but longer-term that's exactly the move that gets you an S&P rating and institutional desks actually deploying, which is the whole game here.

This week, @sparkdotfi and @Uniswap seeded a $150M stablecoin "FX Layer" on v4, shared liquidity across USDS/USDT/PYUSD so institutions can move between dollar tokens without bootstrapping their own pools. Since USDS is positioned as the quoting asset at the center of it, its supply (and therefore Sky's revenue) can benefit tremendously from it.

For anyone holding SKY, the part that matters the most is that once reserves are filled, net revenue goes straight to holders.

> 45% buys SKY for stakers
> 45% pays stakers in USDS
> 10% buys SKY and burns it.

So, for anyone asking "where does the yield come from?", the answer will be: from the protocol's revenue.

Record revenue, a reserve being deliberately overbuilt, and two distinct supply engines (Savings Rate and FX Layer) feeding a model that ends in buybacks and burns.

The token's been flat, but the business is expanding massively.
