Perfect LP hedging is a fantasy.
I've spent weeks in meetings with investment funds.
They want controlled drawdowns and consistent, dollar-denominated returns. My dream as a DeFi user has always been to earn that, but the math just doesn't cooperate.
I talked to
@JuanSamitier at
@DAMM_Capital and he confirmed what I'm feeling. The space has professionalized to the point where you need a genuine edge to even stay competitive.
Uniswap v3 is the clearest example of this. You always end up taking some directionality. The hedge is never clean, and Impermanent Loss eats almost everything.
Btw, as he told me, one thing that could shift the picture is
@AerodromeFi deploying on mainnet. New LP dynamics, and maybe more competing yields than we've seen in the market lately.
They said they would launch in July, but timing is a shit. Let's see what happens next.
