▲ SHORT-VOL CARRY Grade C

Is the DAY-USDC yield on uniswap-v3 real?

You're being paid 0.01% to absorb price risk. Only ~0.01% of it is real fees — and they stop covering impermanent loss if DAY-USDC diverges more than the pair moves.

REAL 100%

Real fee/staking yield: 0.01% · token emissions: 0% of the headline.

👜 Would you be better off just holding?

The real fees here (~0.01%) can beat holding if DAY-USDC stays calm, but a sharp divergence flips that. It's a genuine short-volatility bet, not free income.
