Solstice protocol users holding significant USX positions face depeg risks when farming flares. For those heavily exposed to this position, understanding hedging options becomes essential.
OpenCover provides USX depeg protection at 0.35% monthly fee, which translates to 4.2% annualized cost. This insurance product allows farmers to maintain their yield farming strategy while mitigating downside risk from potential stablecoin depegging events.
However, if you're farming flares through YT (yield tokens), the depeg protection becomes less relevant since these positions already carry liquidation risk that could result in total loss regardless of USX stability. In such high-risk farming scenarios, the insurance layer provides limited additional protection compared to the underlying risks already present in the strategy.

USX dropped again, and we have to spend money to buy insurance? This rate is really incredible, just 4.2% a year to sleep peacefully.

USX depeg is really a trap. The 4.2% annual fee sounds cheap, but when a major crash happens, that 0.35% won't save you... On YT, facing the risk of liquidation, insurance is just talk on paper.

USX depeg insurance 4.2% annual fee? Might as well just reduce your position directly, YT is playing too aggressively anyway and can't guarantee safety.

0.35% monthly fee is a bit shady, YT probably bought insurance for free there.

USX will be doomed with a drop in price, and the insurance fee is 4.2% annually... No matter how you calculate it, this deal doesn't seem worthwhile.

0.35% monthly fee doesn't sound expensive, but when it comes to actually making money, losing 4.2% annualized is a bit painful...
