Potential opportunities of the YT-uniBTC pool
The YT-uniBTC pool in the Pendle protocol currently offers up to22% APYThere may be some bright spots and risks behind the high returns, especially in the return estimates of Corn Kernel and Bedrock Diamonds combined investments.
According to market expectations, the combination of Corn Kernel and Bedrock Diamonds shows strong growth potential. For example, assuming $150 million in FDV and taking a snapshot for both on December 31, investors may receive a 5% airdrop reward in this combination.
Corn Kernel is expected to grow by about $1.07 billion per day, and this table assumes that Corn Kernel’s daily growth in the future will be 5 times the current level, about $5.37 billion. In order to take into account the uncertainty of future growth, the estimates in the table have been conservatively reduced by 5 times.
Bedrock Diamonds expects daily growth of approximately $3.07 million, and the table assumes future growth of approximately $5.08 million, 1.6 times the current amount. The estimates in the table have been conservatively reduced by approximately 60% to more accurately reflect potential future growth.
Although the YT-uniBTC pool appears to offer a generous 22% return to liquidity providers, the YT mechanism still carries certain risks. Although the implied APY of this pool is 5.593%, investors still need to carefully weigh the balance between the cost of participating in the pool and the potential airdrop income. Is the airdrop enough to offset the cost of YT? This is a question that all investors should ponder.
While no one can accurately predict future returns, the growth potential of Corn and Bedrock provides more room for imagination for this pool.
Usual Money APY up to 18%
