Is the PST-USDC yield on orca-dex real?

You're being paid 0.04% to absorb price risk. Only ~0.04% of it is real fees — and they stop covering impermanent loss if PST-USDC diverges more than ±5.8%.

REAL 100%

Real fee/staking yield: 0.04% · token emissions: 0% of the headline.

👜 Would you be better off just holding?

Break-even fact: a ±5.8% move in PST-USDC erases a full year of the fees you actually keep (~0.04%). Whether that move happens is up to the market — but any emissions inflating the headline will fade regardless.
