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.
People ask: “why vaults, I can do it myself with better pricing”.
No you cannot.
Replying to @DeriveXYZ

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.

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
