A Yield Overlay in crypto investing is a strategy designed to generate additional returns or income on an existing portfolio of digital assets without liquidating the underlying holdings. It involves deploying various financial instruments or protocols to capitalize on market inefficiencies or yield opportunities.
Mechanism
This strategy typically employs techniques such as lending out digital assets, participating in liquidity pools, staking, or selling covered call options against spot holdings. The core assets remain largely untouched, while the overlay strategy generates supplementary income through fees, interest, or option premiums, often managed by automated protocols.
Methodology
Principles for effective yield overlay include careful assessment of the underlying asset’s risk profile and the specific yield-generating mechanism’s associated risks, such as smart contract vulnerabilities or impermanent loss. Diversification across multiple overlay strategies and continuous monitoring of market conditions are essential to optimize returns while managing overall portfolio risk.
