Delta Neutral ETH With rETH & USDC Yields

Description

By combining 2 opposing Long and Short positions, this strategy earns yields while maintaining its value throughout short term market volatility. A fall in ETH’s price is covered by a short ETH position and vice versa.

Half of the USDC deposited is used to create a 2.67x USDC/ETH Short position with a 20% liquidation buffer. This earns 1.33x USDC lending interest (on initial deposit amount) with a 0.83x ETH borrow position. If ETH price drops relative to USDC, the debt owed decreases and vice versa.

To offset the risks of increasing debt on the USDC/ETH short position, the remaining USDC deposited is used to create a 1.67x rETH/ETH Long position. The dollar amount of the rETH lent on this rETH/ETH Long position equals the ETH debt on the USDC/ETH Short position. As rETH liquid staking yields is consistently greater than ETH borrow interest, this also earns a 0.83x rETH interest carry. This rETH/ETH Long position is maintained by incurring a 0.33x ETH debt.
