Is your BTCB still gathering dust in your wallet? You might be missing out on a stable cash flow of 20% annually.
Most Bitcoin holders are typical "HODLers"—buying BTC and holding for ten years, hoping to get rich someday. But honestly, this "coldly holding" strategy has an outrageously high opportunity cost. Imagine if there was a way to keep your BTC while also making it appreciate?
Within the ListaDAO framework, BTCB is no longer just a digital asset; it becomes an **"unlimited low-interest credit card"**. Sounds a bit exaggerated? But that's the magic of **Carry Trade**.
Here's how it works in practice:
Step one, you deposit your BTCB into ListaDAO as collateral. Step two, using a very low borrowing cost (currently 1%-2%), you mint stablecoins like lisUSD—this interest rate is a "system subsidy" the protocol offers to expand liquidity. Step three, exchange the lisUSD for USDT or other stablecoins and invest in financial products on top-tier exchanges. During active market periods, these financial products often yield an annualized return of 15%-25%.
**Numbers speak**: Suppose you collateralize 1 BTCB and borrow 30,000 lisUSD. The annual borrowing cost is only $300 (30,000×1%), but the investment income can reach $6,000 (assuming a 20% average return), netting you $5,700. In other words, you haven't sold your BTC or missed out; just by "carrying" this simple operation, you make a profit out of thin air.
Why does this opportunity exist? Because the market is segmented—on-chain lending protocols are desperately releasing liquidity, while centralized platforms are aggressively absorbing it. Your role is to be the "arbitrage carrier" on both sides, collecting the tolls.
Of course, every strategy carries risks. Make sure to do your homework before attempting any operations.

Wait a minute, this arbitrage sounds too perfect. Is there something wrong?

Wow, isn't this just an upgraded version of free earnings? Making a profit from the price difference without missing out, I need to do some research.

Sounds like just another "stable income" scheme, full of fancy talk but what about the risks?

Listen, a 1-2% borrowing cost is really amazing, but I think the risk section is still written too lightly.

Been working on it for two months, and I feel it's just so-so. The 20% sounds appealing, but it's actually very difficult to consistently achieve...

actually, the math checks out here but... theoretically speaking, you're glossing over liquidation risk like it's a rounding error. 1%-2% borrow costs sound great until market decides to tank 40% overnight, then suddenly that "risk-adjusted" carry trade becomes a margin call speedrun. given the historical data on defi collapses, this feels statistically significant in the wrong way ngl
