▲ SHORT-VOL CARRY Grade C

Is the WETH-USDT yield on uniswap-v3 real?

You're being paid 29.7% to absorb price risk. Only ~29.7% of it is real fees — and they stop covering impermanent loss if WETH-USDT diverges more than the pair moves.

REAL 100%

Real fee/staking yield: 29.7% · token emissions: 0% of the headline.

👜 Would you be better off just holding?

The real fees here (~29.7%) can beat holding if WETH-USDT stays calm, but a sharp divergence flips that. It's a genuine short-volatility bet, not free income.
