Many people think arbitrage must rely on high-frequency trading and complex models, but in today's market, one path is already very clear—low-cost borrowing combined with high certainty returns. This path is becoming easier and easier.
For example, if you use blue-chip assets like BTCB, ETH, or BNB as collateral, you can borrow stablecoins like USD1. What's the cost? Taking BTCB as an example, the annualized borrowing rate is only about 1%, which is almost negligible. If you put this borrowed USD1 into a leading exchange's financial product, the annualized return on stablecoins can reach 20%. After deducting the 1% borrowing cost, your net annualized return is still 18%—such low-volatility strategies are really rare nowadays.
What’s even more versatile is the "stacked yield" approach. If your collateral is assets like PT-USDe, asUSDF, or USDe, which have their own earning capabilities, then when you borrow USD1 from Leverage, your original assets continue to generate income. You earn interest from the yield-bearing tokens while investing the USD1 into stablecoin financial products for returns, and the yields stack up. Meanwhile, the risk doesn’t increase significantly.
This low-cost borrowing model essentially maximizes the efficiency of idle assets. Assets like BTCB, ETH, and BNB, which would otherwise just sit idle, now become a source of low-cost capital, capable of unlocking more stable income channels. For those who prefer a conservative approach, this almost risk-free arbitrage method is becoming increasingly popular in bear and sideways markets.

Wait, is the 18% annualized return calculated like this? Borrow at 1% to earn 20%, but I feel like that's a bit too good to be true... Is this another one of those schemes that look attractive but backfire as soon as you try to operate?

Wow, 18% annualized return is really awesome this time. Finally, there's work that doesn't require guessing the direction.

Wow, is this really easy money? An 18% annualized return is no joke. I have to give it a try.

18% annualized return sounds fine, but it depends on when the platform will blow up...

This scheme sounds great, but is the borrowing cost really that low at 1%? No matter how I look at the contract data, it's not that cheap...

18% annualized return sounds great, but these things always come with risks along with the rewards. Don't be blinded by the numbers.

18% annualized? Sounds good, but how long this wave of cheap borrowing can last is really hard to say.
