I’m going to max out the FDIC portion on both of my HYSA’s by June and will need a place to park some extra cash. Is there a chance that USFR will lose money? I think I’m getting 4.25% on my capital one and 5.05% on my other one. I’m ok if the HYSA’s go to .001 interest but don’t want to get into anything that I could lose money on.

I don't see how it can lose money. It's unlevered exposure to US Treasury notes. I suppose I can imagine an extremely remote scenario in which the ETF just trades to a big discount. However, if Treasury ETFs are trading at big discounts, then it's certainly possible that money market funds are breaking the buck.
