USDC (USDC)

Good night. I spent part of the evening looking at how most DeFi tools treat maturity windows as something you only notice when they expire. The thing that surprised me on @TermMaxFi today was how the new rollover cues showed a pattern I never tracked before. When multiple terms approach assignment in the same pocket, you can actually prep rotations ahead of the curve instead of reacting after settlement. Feels like discovering a timing channel hidden inside fixed rate markets. Quiet advantage, but real if you pay attention #TermMaxFi #DeFi
