Looking for an affordable place to get stablecoins? Whether it's hedging market volatility, amplifying positions, or doing cross-chain arbitrage, this is an unavoidable issue.

In mainstream ecosystems, many DeFi lending protocols can meet this need. The key is to find a place with sufficient liquidity and low borrowing costs. Some lending platforms within certain ecosystems offer such conditions—they have accumulated sufficiently deep stablecoin pools, and the lending markets are already relatively mature, allowing users to obtain stablecoin positions at more favorable interest rates.

This is indeed a good option for traders who want to manage risk exposure precisely. The key still depends on the specific interest rate trends and slippage costs, as these directly impact the feasibility of arbitrage.

Stablecoin lending is still a bit tricky; you need to keep an eye on interest rate fluctuations. If you're not careful, slippage costs can eat into your profits.

Stablecoin lending has long been competitive. Places with extremely low interest rates are usually liquidity traps, so be careful that slippage eats up all your gains.

Stablecoin lending really has no new ideas... It's still the same leading ecosystems competing over interest rates, and slippage costs eat up all the profits in a blink of an eye. After all that, it's still a negative return.

Stablecoin lending... To be honest, the interest rates are dropping quite rapidly, so you need to keep a close eye on it.

As for lending interest rates, to put it simply, you still need to keep an eye on the slippage; otherwise, the arbitrage opportunity will disappear in the blink of an eye.

It's the same story again—borrowing stablecoins to save on interest, but as soon as the gas fee spikes, it backfires. Last time, to save that 0.5% borrowing rate, I waited until 11 PM to let Gwei drop, only to get slippage eaten up by 2%. LOL

actually ran the numbers on three protocols last week - you're leaving mad basis points if you're not checking flash loan rates first, ngl
