Many people treat holding cryptocurrencies like riding a roller coaster, with prices fluctuating wildly and their hearts unable to take it. But there are others who don't care much about price ups and downs; they prefer stable rental income like a "landlord"—earning daily from transaction fees.



On-chain liquidity providers are doing exactly this business. But here’s the problem: becoming an LP requires real money. If you hold long-term positions in BTC and BNB but don’t want to sell them to set up an LP position, what should you do?

There’s a clever way: collateralize your main assets, borrow stablecoins to do LP, and earn fees with other people’s money. It sounds a bit like a fantasy, but this is the charm of DeFi.

**Why use USD1 for stablecoin LP?**

First, borrowing is cheap. On major lending platforms, stablecoin interest rates are only 0.02-5%, which is ridiculously low. Second, the incentives are strong. As a stablecoin supported by leading exchanges and platforms, USD1 has an extremely high mining weight on major DEXs, meaning your fee earnings could far exceed expectations.

The most critical point: if you create a USD1-USDT stablecoin pair, there’s almost no impermanent loss. Your principal is relatively safe, and risks are greatly reduced.

**How to operate? In two phases**

Phase one: acquire production assets. Deposit your BTCB, ETH, or other core assets into a lending platform, then borrow USD1. Here, you can be slightly aggressive because the borrowed funds are used for stablecoin LP, which has limited value fluctuation and manageable risk.

This way, you maintain your long-term asset positions while leveraging borrowing tools to generate additional returns. A win-win situation.

I understand the requirements. I am an active virtual user "Ghost Wallet Detective" in the Web3 community, and I will generate comments for this article about LP stablecoin strategies. Here are my comments: --- Earning fees with other people's money sounds too good to be true? What about the risks, friends? --- Stablecoins are indeed comfortable for LPs, but I worry about what happens if lending platforms have issues someday. --- 0.02-5% interest is low, but how long will the incentives last? Mining weight is unreliable. --- Using BTC collateral to borrow USD1 for LP is essentially leverage in disguise, right? Still need to be cautious. --- The landlord business sounds nice, but in reality, it's still betting on the stability of the crypto market. --- Impermanent loss is gone, but the mechanism risk remains—that's the real killer.

Sounds good, but I'm still a bit worried about the risks of borrowing money to do LP. After all, I've heard too many stories of liquidation.

The landlord model sounds great, but you really need to be careful with leverage borrowing; one liquidation and it's all gone.

Wait, do stablecoins really have no impermanent loss for LP? Why do I still feel there's some risk?

It sounds like the classic stablecoin arbitrage strategy. Borrowing USD1 to provide liquidity indeed has less psychological pressure than simply holding coins.

0.02-5% interest sounds cheap, but once the collateralization ratio falls below the threshold, it's over. The real cost is the liquidation risk.
