Is the ETH-USDC yield on gmx-v2-perps real?

You're being paid 1.65% to absorb price risk. Only ~1.65% of it is real fees — and they stop covering impermanent loss if ETH-USDC diverges more than ±44%.

REAL 100%

Real fee/staking yield: 1.65% · token emissions: 0% of the headline.

👜 Would you be better off just holding?

Break-even fact: a ±44% move in ETH-USDC erases a full year of the fees you actually keep (~1.65%). Whether that move happens is up to the market — but any emissions inflating the headline will fade regardless.
