● REAL Grade C

Is the USDE yield on aave-v3 real?

This 2.07% is mostly real staking / lending yield (~1.92% of it). Only about 8% comes from token emissions. It is single-asset, so there is no impermanent loss to drag you below holding. It can still fall, but it isn't a disappearing subsidy.

👜 Would you be better off just holding?

No impermanent loss here — the ~1.92% is real income on the very asset you'd be holding anyway. Only any emissions portion fades.
