Picture this: you walk into a traditional bank seeking a loan, and instead of presenting you with a bill, the lender hands you cash. Sounds absurd, right? Yet that's precisely what's unfolding in decentralized lending protocols today. On certain DeFi platforms powered by isolated lending markets, the dynamics have flipped entirely. While borrowers elsewhere pay steep premiums to access capital, participants on these protocols are essentially getting compensated just to take out loans. Recent market analysis reveals this peculiar arbitrage opportunity—lenders are offering rates so competitive that borrowers find themselves in a profitable position. It's a fascinating inversion of traditional finance logic, highlighting how DeFi's algorithmic interest rates can sometimes create counterintuitive opportunities when market conditions shift.

DeFi is really black magic. Can you make money by borrowing? How twisted does the market have to be to play this game?
