Is the UNI-WETH yield on uniswap-v2 real?

You're being paid 7.25% to absorb price risk. Only ~7.25% of it is real fees — and they stop covering impermanent loss if UNI-WETH diverges more than ±119%.

REAL 100%

Real fee/staking yield: 7.25% · token emissions: 0% of the headline.

👜 Would you be better off just holding?

Break-even fact: a ±119% move in UNI-WETH erases a full year of the fees you actually keep (~7.25%). Whether that move happens is up to the market — but any emissions inflating the headline will fade regardless.
