This is a legit point we don't talk much about.
But like, why actually would you put money into safer DeFi when you have arguably less risk putting it in treasuries?
> aave stables yield: 4.65% usdt, 5.09% usdc
> usd30y yield: 4.704%
if you've exited crypto and want to park in stables and don't care about borrowing, is the 0.3% extra yield worth the smart contract & security risk?
might be one of the more compelling arguments against crypto. we talk about how crypto will replace traditional banking systems but is it actually a good place to passively store wealth
u see protocols getting hacked, people getting drained left and right, kidnapped
id pay 0.3% a year not to get $5 wrenched but that's just me
for crypto to really be worthwhile to most then the yields need to be compelling when adjusted for risk. depositor protections play a role here for sure
