whats happening in defi right now is a liquidity crunch that has led to elevated borrow rates

the borrow rates are forcing an unwind of looping strategies for asset issuers like ethena, etherfi, lido, etc

these loops have been the biggest source of tvl in defi"

Lido lets you stake while staying liquid.

Why it matters: you don’t have to choose between earning yield and staying flexible.

On UEX:
→ ~3.5% APY on $LDO
→ Borrow against it (up to 90% LTV)
→ Stay liquid across 80+ trading pairs"
