Pendle is a yield trading protocol on Ethereum that lets users split any yield-bearing asset into two tradeable components, a Principal Token (PT) representing the underlying capital and a Yield Token (YT) representing future yield. Launched in 2021 by TN Lee and team, it introduced fixed-rate yield and yield speculation to DeFi. Pendle transforms any productive asset staked ETH, lending positions, restaking tokens into two distinct financial instruments that can be traded independently on a dedicated AMM. It became the dominant infrastructure for the 2023 to 2024 airdrop meta when protocols like EigenLayer, Ethena, and Kelp distributed points to their users. Pendle raised $17.14 million across 7 funding rounds and expanded from Ethereum to Arbitrum, BSC, and Solana. PENDLE hit its all-time high of $7.55 in April 2024 driven by the restaking and liquid staking points meta.
