You're being paid 16.3% to absorb price risk. Only ~16.3% of it is real fees — and they stop covering impermanent loss if ETH-WBNB diverges more than the pair moves.
Real fee/staking yield: 16.3% · token emissions: 0% of the headline.
The real fees here (~16.3%) can beat holding if ETH-WBNB stays calm, but a sharp divergence flips that. It's a genuine short-volatility bet, not free income.
