# PT - Fixed USDe Returns

### Why Choose Fixed Yields for Ethena?

Ethena's stablecoin yields vary significantly with market conditions, typically ranging from 5% to 20% APY. This volatility makes financial planning challenging for users who need predictable returns. PT tokens transform this uncertainty into guaranteed income.

When you purchase PT tokens through FIVA, you lock in a fixed yield until maturity, regardless of how funding rates or market conditions change. This protection is particularly valuable during market uncertainties or when building a stable income stream from your stablecoin holdings.

Fixed rates often **exceed standard Ethena deposit** rates because they factor in expected protocol performance, including **Ethena point values** and potential reward boosts during bull markets.

### How Fixed Yields Work with Ethena

By using PT tokens, you convert Ethena's variable stablecoin yield into a guaranteed return. This position is designed to be held until maturity for optimal results, though you can exit earlier through market trades if needed.
