1/ DeFi's rate swings are unlike anything in modern financial history. In just 2 years, DeFi rates have changed more than TradFi did after the: - 70s oil crisis - Black Monday - Tech bubble - 2008 crash - Covid This volatility is a major barrier to institutional adoption.

As DeFi evolves, it's time to rethink how we talk about yields. We've been chasing headline APRs without asking the right questions: - Real yield vs. token hype? - Does it scale? - Is it sustainable? - Impact of fees & slippage?

Open-ended, variable rate lending protocols are designed to keep utilization between 80%-90% to maintain a liquidity buffer for redemptions. As a result, only 80%-90% of the borrow rate is actually passed onto the suppliers, less additional protocol fees. Term Finance stands
