Key Takeaways
- Trezor launched native USDC and USDT yield in Suite v26.5.2 on May 28, 2026, powered by Morpho.
- Over 2 million Trezor users can now access decentralized finance ( DeFi) yield without connecting a third-party wallet.
- Steakhouse-curated Morpho Vaults offer no lockup periods, with full mobile support coming later in 2026.
Trezor Rolls out Native Yield on USDC and USDT Powered by Morpho Vaults
The Prague-based company Trezor integrated Morpho, a decentralized lending protocol running on Ethereum since 2022, to power the feature. Two vaults are available at launch: USDC Prime and USDT Prime, both curated by Steakhouse, an independent yield strategy firm.
Users do not select the vaults themselves. Trezor evaluated options based on security and liquidity criteria and made the selection for them. The workflow runs entirely inside Trezor Suite. There are no browser extensions to install and no third-party wallets to connect.
Every deposit, withdrawal and reward claim is signed on the physical Trezor device. Private keys do not leave the hardware. Trezor says clear-signing is enabled for every on-chain interaction, translating contract data into plain language on the device screen before the user confirms. Clear-signing is available on all current Trezor models except the Trezor Model One.
Tomas Susanka, CTO at Trezor, said the goal was to remove a trade-off that has defined how people use hardware wallets. “Users have had to choose between the security of their hardware wallet and access to DeFi yield, because getting yield meant connecting to something else,” Susanka said. “We have brought yield into the Suite environment, with every step signed on the device and translated into plain language before the user approves it.”
The yield is sourced from borrowing activity on Morpho rather than from token incentive programs. Rates move with demand. When borrowing on the protocol is high, rates rise. When it is low, rates fall. There is no fixed introductory rate tied to a reward program.
There are no lockup periods. Users can initiate a withdrawal inside Suite, sign with their Trezor, and the transaction settles on-chain. Users hold standard ERC-20 vault tokens, which means withdrawal is also possible through any compatible interface independent of Trezor Suite.
Paul Frambot, CEO and co-founder of Morpho, said the integration addresses a scale problem for decentralized finance. “Over two million Trezor users can now earn yield on their stablecoin balances with the same device they already trust for custody,” Frambot said. “This is how DeFi scales: by becoming invisible to users, easily accessible inside the interfaces and apps they already use.”
The feature is live now on Trezor Suite desktop. Users need to update to version 26.5.2 to access it. Users running bitcoin-only firmware will not see the yield option.
Full mobile support is expected later in 2026. Trezor said the current mobile experience offers limited stablecoin yield functionality, with the complete feature set arriving in a future update.
