USDY is designed as a yield-bearing instrument backed by short-dated Treasuries and bank demand deposits, not an algorithm.
The yield on a tokenized Treasury ultimately comes from the interest paid on short-term government ___ .
Short-term Treasury bills pay interest, and that interest, minus fees, is the yield token holders receive.

At roughly 5% a year, about how much would €20,000 earn in a year before fees and tax? Answer in euros.
5% of €20,000 is roughly €1,000 before fees and tax. Fees reduce it, and the real rate tracks T-bill rates, so treat it as an estimate.
