impermanent loss is why most lp strategies bleed over time
example:
> you deposit 1 btc + $100k usdc into a btc/usdc pool
> btc doubles to $200k
> when you withdraw, you don’t get 1 btc + $200k, instead you get 0.7 btc + $140k
if you just held, you’d have $300k, but now you have $280k
you “lost” $20k of upside
this happens because the amm sells your btc as it goes up to keep the pool balanced
you’re unknowingly shorting volatility every time you provide liquidity
@yieldbasis fixes this by running a built-in leveraged hedge:
> it borrows stablecoins to open a 2x long position on your assets
> as prices move, it automatically rebalances
> this cancels out the forced selling that creates impermanent loss
result: your exposure stays the same as simply holding, but you still earn real yield from the pool
sound like a gamechanger (for me)
