Earn APR on Tokenized Stocks Without Trading: Metric + TxFlow
My video angle: Metric LP pools on tokenized stocks plus the TxFlow USDC vault. APR with no perps, no token yet, and the risks as of October 2026.
Earning APR on Tokenized Stocks Without Trading: Metric LP + TxFlow Vault
Most people think stock tokens are for trading. I think they are for earning.
That is the angle of my latest video. I deposit into positions on Metric, give a quick tour of what it is, and show TxFlow next to it. No leverage, no chart staring. Just two places where my money can sit and earn.
As of October 2026, neither Metric nor TxFlow has a token. So this is fee income now, airdrop optionality later. Let me break down why I like the pairing.
Metric: you are the market maker
Metric is a DEX at app.metric.xyz. It went live on BNB Chain on October 14, 2026 and also runs on Robinhood Chain and Ethereum. The pools are mostly tokenized stocks against USDT. NVDAB. QQQB. AAPLB. SKHYB. TSLAB. The B is for bStocks, issued by a Binance group affiliate and backed 1:1 by real shares, per Binance.
When you add liquidity, every swap through your pool pays you a cut. Metric takes no front end fees.
Here is what the Pools page showed on October 23, 2026. Write the date down, because these move daily:
- SKHYB-USDT: about 242% APR, $1.40M TVL , $15.95M volume in 24h
- CRCLB-USDT: about 357% APR
- NVDAB-USDT: about 97% APR
- QQQB-USDT: about 76% APR
- AAPLB-USDT: about 57% APR
- USDC-USDT: about 11.8% APR
Those are not typos. They are what happens when big volume hits small pools. They will not stay there. That is fine. You are early, and early is where the numbers are silly.
The thing nobody tells you
Every pool shows a curator. Prices are pulled from outside oracles. And some pools say "Feed down" or "Paused".
That last part matters. When the feed stops, the pool stops. Good, because nobody can drain you at a stale price. Bad, because your money can sit frozen right when you want out.
The other thing: impermanent loss . If you LP NVDAB-USDT and Nvidia rips, the pool sells your Nvidia on the way up. You earn fees and miss some upside. So only LP a stock you would happily hold anyway.
My rule: only pool what you would hold.
TxFlow: APR with zero trading
TxFlow is a perp exchange on its own L1. But you do not have to trade perps to earn there.
Its official Liquidity Provider vault takes USDC. It takes over liquidated positions and provides liquidity to the exchange. On October 23 it showed a past-month APR of +29.24% on about $9.22M TVL. That is a past number, not a promise, and vaults can have losing months.
Why it fits next to Metric: Metric gives you stock exposure plus fees. TxFlow gives you a dollar position plus vault yield. One leans into stocks, one stays in USDC.
There is also a points angle. TxFlow Season 1 points are live, and one of the six scoring dimensions is "TVL Contribution". The docs I read do not spell out whether vault deposits count, so I will not promise it. My read is that it looks like it should. Check before you rely on it.

How I'd set it up with a small stack
Cheapest first:
That is it. No leverage anywhere.
Why I'm doing this before any token exists
Fresh DEX. Real volume. Referral system already built, with stats "coming soon". No points yet. That is the profile I like to be early on. Not because a drop is promised. It is not. Because the fees pay me to wait.
If a Metric token never comes, I still earned. If it does, I was there in week two.
Risks, plainly
- Impermanent loss on stock pools.
- Oracle outages and paused pools.
- APRs that halve overnight.
- New contracts. I found no public audit for Metric's DEX.
- bStocks are not offered to US persons.
- Vault strategies can lose money.
Size small. Pull out if something smells off.
Stack it further
Metric also runs on Robinhood Chain . If stock tokens are your thing, read our Robinhood Chain tokenized stocks guide and look at Arcus and Rialto .
Build it
Somebody should build a simple page that shows Metric pool APR history and TxFlow vault APR side by side. I would use it every day. Start it on Deployr .
