As the person responsible for managing the team's assets, my biggest concern has been that holding ETH for a long time only results in paper gains without additional income. It wasn't until I tried using ETH to borrow USD1 stablecoins that the entire situation changed dramatically.

So how exactly did I do it? It's simple. First, I collateralized ETH on a lending protocol, borrowing USD1 at an interest rate of just 1%. Then, I invested this USD1 into a dual-currency investment product with an annualized return of 18%. On the surface, it looks like an arbitrage spread, but when calculated: a position equivalent to $500,000 in ETH now consistently generates a monthly spread income of $7,500, effectively adding a fixed revenue stream for the team. The key is that ETH's appreciation potential remains unaffected.

Why choose this approach? Because these lending protocols have already established deep integrations with platforms like certain DEXs and Thena, making large fund flows particularly smooth, with minimal slippage concerns.

The best part is, if you hold the LISTA tokens long-term, you not only enjoy the appreciation of your holdings but also receive stable arbitrage income plus token dividends. This is the real strategy for large capital.
