Is the XAUT-USDC yield on uniswap-v4 real?

You're being paid 5.17% to absorb price risk. Only ~5.17% of it is real fees — and they stop covering impermanent loss if XAUT-USDC diverges more than ±93%.

REAL 100%

Real fee/staking yield: 5.17% · token emissions: 0% of the headline.

👜 Would you be better off just holding?

Break-even fact: a ±93% move in XAUT-USDC erases a full year of the fees you actually keep (~5.17%). Whether that move happens is up to the market — but any emissions inflating the headline will fade regardless.
