DeFi update, how is staking LOOP for 1 year performing? šŸ¤“

Well, I have recently started staking LOOP for a year. How is it doing I hear you ask?

Introduction

Ok, so at a time like this, it is difficult to look at value since the whole market is down 40% šŸ˜±. So 10 days in, how is my year long investment going and what did I expect and what has turned out in day 10 /365.

Just for reference, I do not ape into DeFi, but do love itā€¦ I do prefer to spread little amounts into many protocols and then go in more as I gain confidence.

Except TOMB. I LOVE TOMBā€¦. I aped into TOMB šŸ˜‰

APR

So the APR was at 380% 10 days ago and is down to 306% as of today. This is expected in DeFi and you do loose the high TVLā€™s pretty quickly. But, for me, thats OK. TOMB was also at 360% in November and down to the 100% range recently. If it holds the 150% range by the end of 2022, I would be happy camper.

Price

Next, the usual happened to me, I thought I was buying in a bit of a dip and then the market tanked. I am sure the crypto Godā€™s heard that I bought LOOP and the market tanked. Sorry everyone šŸ¤Ŗ

You would think I know betterā€¦

That aside, this is a year long exercise and patients is key. After all, the entire market is down.

So, letā€™s not talk price at this stage, but, am I getting my rewards???

APR Rewards

In 10 days so far, I have received 8% LOOP as reward. So, quite simply to multiply that by 36 (10 * 36.5 = 362), I end up on ~300%. Thats close enough for me as its just rough calculations.

Wohoo, so far yield is workingā€¦

Here is my hope to 4x šŸ™

  • Price goes to $0.70c per LOOP by the end of the year
  • APR averages out at 200%

Am I being too optimistic????

  • DeFi is the talk of the town, more people dip their does in every day
  • It will become easier in 2022 as these protocols evolve
  • Has helped 75k+ us do 18k+ transactions per day
  • Nowadays, it has a TVL valued at $101 million
