Vesu on Starknet has emerged as a highly capital-efficient platform for BTC-backed borrowing. The ongoing BTCFi campaign delivers a remarkable advantage: a 40% subsidy on borrowing fees slashes the cost of capital to just around 1%—making it almost negligible. What's more striking is that this subsidy actually drives the borrow APR below the risk-free rate, fundamentally reshaping the economics of BTC collateral utilization on the network. For traders and liquidity providers looking to optimize their BTC positions, this presents a compelling window.

1% lending cost? Isn't that just exploiting the loophole?

1% borrowing cost? Isn't that just free interest? Starknet's move this time is really aggressive.

1% lending cost? That's a bit outrageous. When will this subsidy end?

NGL, this subsidy is a bit too crazy. Borrowing money is actually cheaper than risk-free returns... gotta get on board quickly.

1% lending cost? That's crazy, feels like you're just giving away money.
Can it really be stable? Could subsidies suddenly be cut...
Should I go for it or not? I'm torn.
Wow, this APR is even lower than the risk-free rate, is economics dead?
Starknet's move is a bit extreme, but isn't anyone worried about the risks?
Sounds good, but I'm afraid of hidden traps.
The path of BTC collateralized lending is becoming more competitive.

1% borrowing cost? Well, it's really a loss.

Nah StarkNet, this round of subsidies is quite intense; a 1% lending cost is really outrageous.
