Stablecoins like USDC or DAI do not generate returns on their own; the gains come from actively deploying them into systems involving lending, trading fees, protocol rewards, real-world asset investments, or derivatives strategies. These returns are compensation for taking on various risks (including credit risk, market risk, or technical risk), rather than "passive" or free income.
