As the world of cryptocurrencies evolves, Ethereum (ETH) investors
are beginning to take notice of the power of yields and their
potential impact on the crypto space. Yields, in essence, are the
payments investors receive for holding cryptocurrencies, and they
can come in many shapes and forms. How ETH Yields Could
Revolutionize The Space One of the most important things to
understand about yields is that they exist on a risk curve. This
means that the percentage of yield paid out to investors is a
function of supply and demand, as well as the perceived risk
associated with the cryptocurrency in question. Related

supply and high demand is likely to have a higher yield than one
with a larger supply and lower demand. Similarly, a cryptocurrency
that is perceived as less risky is likely to have a higher yield
than one that is perceived as more risky. According to the crypto
analyst and researcher Adam Cochran, this is where the potential of
cryptocurrencies really shines through. By creating non-dilutive
yields through the use of fees, cryptocurrencies can offer
investors a way to earn passive income without the risk of
inflation. This is particularly important in a world where
traditional investments like savings accounts and bonds offer
little to no yield. One cryptocurrency that is particularly
well-positioned to take advantage of the power of yields is
Ethereum. With its growing ecosystem of decentralized applications
and smart contracts, ETH has the potential to generate significant
fees for investors through its use as a platform for decentralized
finance (DeFi) applications, according to Cochran. For
example, ETH staking currently offers yields in the 5%-7% range,
while Synthtetix (SNX) staking can generate yields of up to 24% in
external fees. Similarly, Curve (CRV) staking can generate yields
of up to 15% in crvUSD fees. This means that billions of dollars in
capital are now able to generate yields of more than 3% annual
percentage yield (APY), which is a significant opportunity for
investors. This is particularly important in a world where
traditional investment opportunities like savings accounts and
bonds offer little to no yield. As more investors become aware of
the potential of cryptocurrencies to generate high yields with
acceptable levels of risk, this can likely drive more interest and
investment in the space. From HODLing To Yielding In its recent
post, Adam Cochran emphasized the importance of focusing on asset
productivity and real yield in the cryptocurrency space. Despite
the current narrative that fundamentals don’t matter and memes and
rhetoric dominate the market, Cochran believes that one day, the
true value of assets will become apparent. According to Cochran,
those who already possess assets have the advantage, as they stand
to gain significant capital gains in addition to the 2% APY on the
face value of the asset. This is particularly relevant in the
cryptocurrency space, where prices can be extremely volatile and
subject to sudden fluctuations. Related Reading: Bitcoin Miners

as funds of increasing size start to realize the long-term
potential of the cryptocurrency space, they will begin to invest
heavily. This influx of capital will fundamentally change the
finance industry, and those who have acquired a significant number
of coins before this shift will reap the benefits. Featured image
