It’s an *option* on BTC with 5 year expiry and 500k strike. The premium is the lost interest due to lending at 0%. I’m too lazy to do the math on whether it’s a good deal or not, but the headlines misinterpret this deal a lot. It’s a pretty cool trade you can’t make elsewhere.
1/ MicroStrategy just convinced investors to pay $520,234 per Bitcoin That's the biggest Bitcoin play I've ever seen:

People ask: “why vaults, I can do it myself with better pricing”. No you cannot.
Replying to @DeriveXYZ
@derivexyz vaults just executed 4315 x $2600 weekly covered calls at average prices ranging between $9.6 and $9.9 (Deribit best bid $9.4 for reference) 🔥 Huge week for LRT yield farmers 🧑‍🌾

Back where I’m from, “looping” is called “fractional reserve banking”

Wanna make a risk-free bet that ETH recovers and hits $4150 in a week? It does? You make $50. It doesn't? Nw @lyrafinance got it covered. Look at this spready boi - buy 4100 Call and sell 4150 Call. ZERO margin required. LYRA rewards 100% cover your costs. Free real estate.

Got another one for you: ETH between $3850 and $3950 - win up to $50 (max at $3900). Rewards are literally greater than the cost. ZERO margin required. The only way you lose is by not taking the bet.

Hello, capital efficiency - we've been expecting you 👋 Do you trade option spreads but dread each leg being margined in isolation? Multi-leg option strategies on V2 mean you'll never post a penny of excess collateral.

LEAP-36 has been proposed to the @lyrafinance council for voting. Partial cash collateralization for short options is a major upgrade to the Lyra AMM that improves capital efficiency, lowers spreads and unlocks new modularity for the system. leaps.lyra.finance/leaps/lea…

People in DeFi seem to take for granted that it’s ok for options to be fully collateralized. They also seem to take Black-Scholes formula for granted. Few people realize these 2 worlds don’t align. A thread on options and capital efficiency 🧵

8. But this is only one piece of a “DeFi options adoptions puzzle”, few other ones include: (1) superior trading product/exchange experience, (2) superior market making capabilities/liquidity
