You're being paid 0.20% to absorb price risk. Only ~0.20% of it is real fees — and they stop covering impermanent loss if USDC-YNG diverges more than the pair moves.
Real fee/staking yield: 0.20% · token emissions: 0% of the headline.
The real fees here (~0.20%) can beat holding if USDC-YNG stays calm, but a sharp divergence flips that. It's a genuine short-volatility bet, not free income.
