I have the same stance here as on the proposal to use the USDC for USDaf about a month ago.

Short-term I’m okay with making use of the idle USDC.

Long-term however, I believe it’s better used for something AMPL-native like **SPOT-USDC** liquidity as it provides the same or higher APY while also boosting all the other aspects of the SPOT & AMPL ecosystem:

> [@\[Signal\] Deploy $2 M USDC to the USDaf ecosystem (LP + optional 50/50 to CDP)](https://forum.ampleforth.org/t/signal-deploy-2-m-usdc-to-the-usdaf-ecosystem-lp-optional-50-50-to-cdp/853/9):
>
> I support using the USDC for Asymmetry only for a **limited time** until AMPL supply has expanded enough (\>5x) to mint SPOT.
> 
> Using the USDC to provide liquidity for SPOT would be better in the long run because:
> 
> 1. It provides similar, if not higher APY on the capital
> 2. A deeper liquidity in SPOT-USDC will lead to more fees for the stAMPL vault and support long-term holders
