About 97% of this 2.57% APY is decaying token emissions. The real fee yield is ~0.08%. This pool is short volatility — fees stop covering impermanent loss if STXRP-FXRP diverges more than ±8.1%.
Real fee/staking yield: 0.08% · token emissions: 97% of the headline.
Break-even fact: a ±8.1% move in STXRP-FXRP erases a full year of the fees you actually keep (~0.08%). Whether that move happens is up to the market — but any emissions inflating the headline will fade regardless.
