You're being paid 1.49% to absorb price risk. Only ~1.49% of it is real fees — and they stop covering impermanent loss if CIRBTC-WETH diverges more than the pair moves.
Real fee/staking yield: 1.49% · token emissions: 0% of the headline.
The real fees here (~1.49%) can beat holding if CIRBTC-WETH stays calm, but a sharp divergence flips that. It's a genuine short-volatility bet, not free income.
