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

You're being paid 8.15% to absorb price risk. Only ~8.15% of it is real fees — and they stop covering impermanent loss if ETH-USDC diverges more than ±131%.

REAL 100%

Real fee/staking yield: 8.15% · token emissions: 0% of the headline.

👜 Would you be better off just holding?

Break-even fact: a ±131% move in ETH-USDC erases a full year of the fees you actually keep (~8.15%). Whether that move happens is up to the market — but any emissions inflating the headline will fade regardless.
