Investing in USD1 sounds good, but have you really calculated how much you can earn?

Let's start with the most straightforward issue—premium costs. A few days ago, USD1 was traded as high as 1.0039. It sounds only slightly higher, but if you buy 50,000 USDT to exchange for USD1 in one go, you'll lose about 100 dollars just on the premium. The actual return rate is only 15.2%, which is much lower than the advertised figure.

Then there's the selling pressure later on. After the event ends, there will definitely be a large number of people selling, and when you want to redeem, your assets will be worn down. This might not be obvious in the books, but it happens to everyone in reality.

Want to avoid these pitfalls? There's a smarter operational approach. Instead of directly exchanging USDT for USD1, consider using a lending strategy—

Use ListaDAO's USDF/asUSDF pairing to invest in USD1, with a principal of 60,000 U. The wear and tear is only about 60 U. If you go through the U/USDT LP route, the wear drops to 15 U, and upon redemption, an additional round of wear and tear of about 15-30 U occurs. The cost difference becomes very clear this way.

The core idea is to participate in investment through lending, which can maximize the avoidance of losses caused by USD1 price fluctuations. But also, a reminder—lending involves risks, so make sure to assess your risk tolerance carefully before operating.
