how to buy YT the smart way to farm points ↓ YT = you’re long on future yield. by holding YTs you can earn yield, project points with multipliers (e.g. @almanak x5 or @solsticefi x15 points). you own all yield until maturity, but YT decays over time, as that yield is realized. at maturity YT= 0 / here are the simple rules: 1. don’t buy when APY is high. high APY usually means the implied yield is already priced in. if the real yield drops or stays flat your YT value goes down. instead buy when the implied APY is low, when the market underestimates future yields. that’s when YT is cheap. 2. buying YT early at a low price with long expiration maximizes income potential. especially if APY rises and you stack bonuses. in short: when implied APY rises YT price goes up (you earn) when implied APY falls YT price goes down (you lose) / about risks: - if APY falls further YT price drops and your yield may underperform. - YT also decays over time as yield is claimed and price moves toward zero at maturity. you can hedge your YT position with PT position to balance upside potential and protect against volatility (delta neutral strategy). yt works best for shorter term yield bets and points farming.
