It is generally accepted that staking and earning interest paid in stablecoin alleviates risks of what is called “impermanent loss.” I have seen many DeFi platforms attempt to offer stablecoin staking, but the best returns I have seen so far are in Nexo. In this article, I’ll explain how I came to decide that and compare returns on example platforms.
To fully understand the benefit of stablecoin staking, we must first understand why anyone would ‘settle’ for lower returns compared to some other platforms.
In this article, I will discuss:
- What is Impermanent Loss?
- Example of stablecoin staking platform — Terra Station
- Example of stablecoin intrest earning platform — Nexo
- Comparison and Conclusions
