Where Do DeFi’s High Yields Come From? Understand the Source of Returns Before Assessing the Risks

In the Web3 world, DeFi is often associated with high yields.

Lending, liquidity mining, staking, and yield strategies offer users different ways to participate. But when a protocol offers a high annualized yield, what we really need to focus on is not just how big the number is, but where these returns come from and who bears the associated risks.

Understanding the source of returns is an important step in deciding whether a DeFi project is worth researching further.

When everyone is using similar trading strategies, where do the profits come from?

A question worth considering:

If a trading strategy really works, why can’t it work forever?

Suppose a simple breakout strategy was able to capture trends in past markets. As more and more traders discover this pattern, they start buying at similar price levels and placing stop-losses at similar levels.

The initial edge may change.

This involves an important concept: trading edges are affected by the behavior of market participants.

1. What happens to the market when an edge is widely used?

First, trading

In cryptocurrency contract trading, 10x leverage may not sound particularly high, but many traders underestimate the risks behind it.

Suppose you have 1000 USDT and use 10x leverage. This means you can open a notional position worth about 10000 USDT (depending on the margin mode and trading fees).

If the market price moves 1% against you, your position will incur an unrealized loss of about 100 USDT, equivalent to 10% of your capital. If the price moves 5% in the opposite direction, the theoretical unrealized loss could reach 500 USDT.

This does not yet account for trading fees, funding rat

How Should Hot and Cold Wallets Be Used Together? From Everyday Operations to Long-Term Asset Storage

In the Web3 world, wallets are important tools for managing digital assets. But when choosing a wallet, many beginners focus only on ease of use and overlook the differences between wallets in terms of security, how they work, and the scenarios they are suited for.

How should you choose between a hot wallet and a cold wallet?

The answer is not simply that cold wallets are always suitable for everyone. Instead, you need to understand their respective characteristics and establish a sensible

Common Ways Wallets Get Stolen Go Far Beyond Losing a Seed Phrase

In the Web3 world, many people think that as long as they keep their seed phrase and private key safe, their digital assets are secure enough.

But the reality is far more complex.

Some users have never disclosed their seed phrase, yet lose assets because of a single malicious approval; others connect to websites that appear legitimate, only to unknowingly sign dangerous transactions; still others download unfamiliar software, allowing sensitive information on their devices to be stolen.

Wallet security is not just about prot

What Is the Funding Rate, and How Does It Affect Trading?

In crypto futures trading, many people focus only on BTC’s daily price movements while overlooking an important metric: the funding rate.

Sometimes BTC keeps rising, yet traders going long have to keep paying funding fees. Why does this happen?

First, the funding rate is a periodic payment between longs and shorts in the perpetual futures market. Its main purpose is to help keep contract prices close to spot prices.

When the funding rate is positive, it usually means perpetual futures are priced relatively high, and longs pay fundin

Why Does the Price Fall When Trading Volume Suddenly Surges?
In cryptocurrency trading, many people see BTC trading volume suddenly surge and assume there is a large amount of buying in the market, meaning the price is likely to rise soon.
But the reality is often not that simple.
Sometimes, trading volume increases significantly, yet the price fails to rise and instead falls. What does this mean?
First, we need to understand a basic principle: every trade has both a buyer and a seller. An increase in trading volume only means that market activity has picked up; it does not directly prove that

#Polymarket年化收入突破18亿美元 $1.8 Billion in Annualized Revenue: Is Prediction-Market Growth Becoming Permanent or Still Powered by Sports?

A prediction market can attract enormous trading activity when a major sporting event is approaching. The harder test is what happens when the match ends, the tournament moves on and there is no major event dominating the news cycle.

That is the question behind Polymarket’s latest milestone. The platform has reportedly crossed a $1.8 billion annualized revenue run rate, while its U.S. exchange processed almost $14.9 billion in October notional volume. These f

Fed’s Michelle Bowman warns: Stocks could face a sharp correction if AI investments fail to deliver expected returns. Big spending. Bigger expectations. Little room for disappointment.

Gotta say, it looks pretty good. Is it really that thrilling?

Why do some traders get the market right, yet their accounts still lose money?

You predict BTC will rise, and the price does rise.

You predict the market will fall, and it does.

But when you open your account, your returns are not as good as you expected—or you may even still be at a loss.

Where is the problem?

Getting the direction right is not the same as making a profitable trade.

In real trading, there are at least five details that are easy to overlook.

I. You get the direction right, but your entry is poorly timed
