Is the USDC-USG yield on curve-dex real?

About 97% of this 5.13% APY is decaying token emissions. The real fee yield is ~0.17%. This pool is short volatility — fees stop covering impermanent loss if USDC-USG diverges more than ±12%.

EMISSIONS 97%

Real fee/staking yield: 0.17% · token emissions: 97% of the headline.

👜 Would you be better off just holding?

Break-even fact: a ±12% move in USDC-USG erases a full year of the fees you actually keep (~0.17%). Whether that move happens is up to the market — but any emissions inflating the headline will fade regardless.
