Why do many people fail to make money during a bull market? The reason is actually simple — they only look at the return rate but ignore the key variable of financing costs.
In volatile markets, those who can survive long-term rely not on short-term profits but on how cheap borrowing is. Imagine leveraging a 15%-20% stable return with only 1% financing costs; this itself is a systemic advantage.
This is why high TVL lending protocols are so popular in DeFi. For example, a leading stablecoin lending protocol with over $4.3 billion in liquidity pools has driven borrowing costs down to the lowest in the industry. When market liquidity is abundant, this advantage becomes a replicable and sustainable profit engine.
In contrast, strategies chasing 20% or 30% APY often carry higher risks and can be liquidated with slight fluctuations. Financial methods based on low financing costs are entirely different —
Less volatility, better sleep; clear logic, suitable for long-term rolling; stable and reliable, not dependent on luck. These features make professional funds particularly favor such strategies.
If you are looking for a way to earn substantial returns without constantly monitoring the market, it’s worth spending time studying the structural design of DeFi lending. True wealth growth often hides in these "insignificant" details.

The move to lower borrowing costs with a 4.3 billion liquidity pool is indeed much smarter than chasing high APY. Sleep-worthy returns are the real returns.

That's right, low-cost financing is the way to go. I've already fallen into all those high-APY traps.

Exactly right, most people are just greedy, rushing in at 30% APY, only to get wiped out in a sudden crash. They didn't consider the cost of borrowing.
Financing costs are the real key, 1% leverages 20%, that's the correct approach.

1% financing cost leverages 20% returns? Sounds great, but are these fluctuations really small... Friends who have actually operated should understand.
The saying "The bull market dies from greed" is becoming more and more true.
Hearing stories of liquidation so often, I am starting to believe in stability.
Low-cost lending protocols sound comfortable, but I don't know when the next black swan will come.
A 4.3 billion pool looks reassuring, but pools can also dry up—this logic is a bit cyclical.
I agree that being able to sleep peacefully is important; chasing 30% APY is indeed self-torture.
You're right, but I'm just afraid that perfect theory will be slapped in the face by reality.
Low financing costs ≠ stable returns; I always feel like I'm missing some risks.

Low financing cost strategies sound appealing, but how many can actually secure a 1% loan?

It's the same story again, where can you find such a low 1% borrowing cost?
