Is the USDC-B18 yield on uniswap-v2 real?

You're being paid 0.03% to absorb price risk. Only ~0.03% of it is real fees — and they stop covering impermanent loss if USDC-B18 diverges more than ±5.1%.

REAL 100%

Real fee/staking yield: 0.03% · token emissions: 0% of the headline.

👜 Would you be better off just holding?

Break-even fact: a ±5.1% move in USDC-B18 erases a full year of the fees you actually keep (~0.03%). Whether that move happens is up to the market — but any emissions inflating the headline will fade regardless.
