Recently, I came across several yield aggregator platforms advertising "high APY." Frankly, my first reaction wasn't excitement but to check which contracts they were putting the money into and who was on the other side of the trade. Many seem like "one-click peace of mind," but in reality, they bundle together a bunch of authorizations, re-investments, and routing, and risk is bundled along with it: Can the contract be upgraded? Who holds the permission keys? Is the underlying pool's liquidity thin? Sometimes, APY is just a subsidy that burns out; once the subsidy stops, the floor collapses.

By the way, these past couple of days, I've been using ETF capital flows and U.S. stock risk appetite to explain crypto price movements. It looks pretty theatrical to me... When emotions run high, strategies in aggregators switch around more easily, increasing the risk of getting caught off guard. Anyway, I now prefer to earn a little less but make sure I understand exactly which contract my "money is finally lying in," or else you're earning interest but possibly paying tuition.
