Just moments ago, they were making tough statements, and now they’re suddenly changing tune to seek cooperation—international political dramas are unfolding so quickly lately. The European tariffs planned for February 1st have also suddenly disappeared without any news. Behind these seemingly sudden changes, there’s nothing mysterious: once the stock market plunges, all tough stances have to be put aside. When the capital markets vote with their actions, any political posture appears pale in comparison.

This is also why many investors have been struggling with the same question recently—given how turbulent the market is, what should we do with our money? Everyone knows the outcome of chasing gains and selling losses, but they always end up losing everything in the volatility. In fact, those who truly know how to manage their finances have long come up with new tricks—avoiding risks while squeezing out returns.

This brings the discussion to an interesting direction. Some DeFi protocols are doing quite clever things now—not just the old way of depositing tokens to earn interest, but building "yield factories" using liquidity staking mechanisms. The core idea is this: users can collateralize mainstream assets like BNB, ETH, and so on, to generate native stablecoins through this process, while simultaneously holding the original assets (which can still appreciate in value). They can then use the stablecoins to earn yields elsewhere, and with staking incentives added in, the returns stack up. In simple terms, it’s about making your assets no longer sit idle but work in all directions.

Especially in today’s environment, where geopolitical risks and market sentiment are so sensitive, having such a tool that can both hedge risks and increase income is still attractive to ordinary investors.
