ETH is ripping today, it is up ~3% on the US-Iran ceasefire news, pushing above $1,800. And here's the beautiful part, it's outpacing BTC on the move.
So if you'd taken the trade from yesterday -- say long WBETH, short BTC, you're not just green, you're spectacularly green. Both assets went up, but ETH went up harder.
That's actually the spread widening exactly the way you wanted.
This is the whole point of pair trading. You weren't betting BTC would dump, you were betting ETH would outperform it. Market rips, BTC rallies too, and your trade still prints because the ratio moved your way.
A directional BTC short would've been underwater today.
The pair trade thrived in the exact same market, this is what Venus Trade was built for.

The market gave me a perfect pair trading lesson today.
BTC has been heavy as of recent sitting around the $63-64K range, RSI deep in oversold territory. If you were running a straight short on BTC, you'd be watching closely.
But here's the thing about pair trading: a single asset moving doesn't invalidate your trade. What matters is the spread.
Take WBETH/BTCB on Venus Trade right now. Long WBETH, short BTCB. Even with BTC chopping around, the ratio is holding positive on the 15m chart up 0.18%. WBETH is quietly outperforming BTC, and that's the entire thesis you need. You don't need BTC to crash. You just need ETH strength to hold relative to it.
A directional short can get wicked out on any green candle. A pair trade survives the noise because both legs move together short-term, and the relative winner carries you.
On top of that, your WBETH leg is earning 2.37% supply APY while you hold, and the BTCB borrow sits at like 1.28%. You're already net positive on the carry before the trade even plays out.

Obsess. For f*ck sakes. You only get one life. Don’t screw it up by being normal. Go all in. Act like a psycho. Let people call you insane. Please. I beg you. Obsession is the path.

Looping imo was always the highest-yield play in DeFi, and the most annoying as well.
Borrow, swap, re-supply, rinse and repeat
Ten transactions and a gas bill just to set up a position
Venus Flux Multiply collapsed all of that into one click. with the same strategy, automatically.
Top vaults today:
- syrupUSDT × USDT-USDC — 23.71% APY
- wBETH × ETH — 23% APY
- ETH-wBETH × ETH — 18.5% APY
- syrupUSDT × USDT — 9.4% APY
Stables are leading the board today, with ETH strategies quite close.
Every vault comes with CF and LT guardrails baked in, so leverage stays inside a managed range... so there will be no surprise liquidations from a runaway position.
And since most of these vaults are still filling up, the early rates are still there for the taking.
Pick a vault and set your multiplier

Looping used to mean 10 transactions, gas on every step, and one mistake away from a mess.
21.26% APY on ETH. 15.89% on stables. All from one click.
The Vaults are still filling up. always best to be early.
Top Multiply vaults today:
- wBETH × ETH — 21.26% (Supply 2.4% | Borrow 0.76%)
- syrupUSDT × USDT-USDC — 15.89% (Supply 4.28% | Borrow 2.99%)
- syrupUSDT × USDT — 12.65% (Supply 4.28% | Borrow 3.35%)
- ETH-wBETH × ETH — 12.14% (Supply 1.67% | Borrow 0.76%)
- USDT-syrupUSDT × USDT — 2.55% (Supply 3.27% | Borrow 3.35%)
and as always, built-in leverage ceilings with CF and LT guardrails.
loop easily with confidence
try it out, multiply your assets 👇

i am actually watching all the world cup games and stacking Venus Trade positions at the same time
The Brazil vs Morocco match was a reminder for me lol, the side with momentum doesn't always need to dominate possession, just convert when it matters.
Same with pair trading.
Long the strong alt, short BTC, let the ratio play out like a clean counterattack iykyk.
No need to predict the whole market, just back the side with the edge and let it run.
Best climate to learn pair trading btw.

just went through the @VenusProtocol monthly report.
the analysis by @AllezLabs shows the soft month for the entire market barely dented the protocol.
so for May,
Supply $1.62B (-2.1%), debt $449M (-5%).
Most of that decline was really price and not flight.
BNB ripped 15.3% but the token balances barely moved.

one thing flagged for june, a single borrower short $30.2M of BNB against BTCB and USDT collateral at 1.14 health.
BNB rallied 15% in may, most of it in the last 3 days.
if it keeps running then that's the squeeze to watch.
everything else on the book looks comfortable.
