Idle assets in the crypto market are actually losing money. How so? Because inflation is eating away at your purchasing power. Today, I want to talk to you about a solid arbitrage idea—how to make your blue-chip assets like BTCB, ETH, BNB work for you, letting them sit there while generating income.
The core idea is straightforward: find the spread between lending rates and investment returns, then exploit that difference. Using Lista DAO's newly launched USD1 Vault tool, combined with a leading exchange's financial products, you can create quite a buzz.
How to operate specifically? Three main steps:
Step 1: Collateralize your blue-chip assets. Whether it's BTCB, ETH, or BNB, they sit in your account; instead of just holding them, put them to work. Collateralize on Lista DAO to instantly unlock lending capabilities for these assets.
Step 2: Borrow USD1 stablecoins. This is the key—currently, the borrowing rates here are really low, some pools are even around 1%. Think about it—borrowing a dollar-pegged stablecoin at just 1% cost is worth it.
Step 3: Use these USD1 to invest in financial products on a top exchange. This is the main course. The annualized yield on stablecoin investments can reach up to 20%. Do the math: 20% investment return minus 1% borrowing cost equals a net profit of 19%.
It sounds simple and isn't complicated to do, but the details need to be carefully considered. Risk management, position control, market volatility—these factors all need to be addressed. But if you can think through the logic clearly, this spread arbitrage game is indeed a low-risk way to achieve continuous income today.

Sounds good, but is a 19% net return really stable? Could it cool off if interest rate policies change someday?

19% returns sound tempting, but you need to keep a close eye on the liquidation line in this interest rate spread game. Volatility can lead to liquidation directly, you know.

19% net profit sounds great, but you need to be clear about the liquidation price. When BTC drops, it hurts.

19% net profit sounds great, but why does it feel like some risks are going to eat it away again? What about past lessons?

A 19% net profit sounds quite tempting, but there aren't many who truly dare to go all in.

A 19% arbitrage opportunity sounds tempting, but can you really consistently get it in hand?

Listening, listening, why does it feel like the risks are being brushed over lightly, in real scenarios, is it really that smooth...

Here we go again with this arbitrage thing. It sounds tempting, but why does it feel like all the risks are hidden? Liquidation lines, slippage, platform跑路—who's going to settle the账 for these things?

A 19% net profit sounds great, but I'm worried that one day the collateral might plummet, and you'll lose everything.

A 19% net profit sounds great, but in actual operation, liquidity risk is the real concern.
---
Idle assets are indeed depreciating, no doubt about that, but have you ever encountered a 20% financial management return?
---
Interest rate arbitrage sounds simple, but in practice, you need to keep an eye on the liquidation line at all times, which worries your sleep quality.
---
Is the liquidity in the USD1 pool sufficient? When it's easy to borrow and repay, you need to consider this.
---
In summary, using ETH to take on linkage risk doesn't seem worth it for that small interest.
---
This trick is a classic case of the sheep paying for the wool. Have you thought about the source of funds in the 20% yield pool?
---
It sounds good, but in practice, fees, slippage, liquidation risks, and other pitfalls have long eaten into the net profit.
