Our income comes from market-making fees — we provide liquidity to a major decentralized exchange and earn on every trade that crosses our quotes. We hedge our positions to stay neutral to price direction. Income fluctuates with how active the marketplace is, but it's not tied to interest rates, government debt, corporate defaults, or property values.
3.5x the best income fund on Wall Street. Nearly 9x a bank savings account. From a fundamentally different source.
Slow and Steady. Five Up Days. 71 Cents From the Next Dividend.
DFI: $989.29, +0.09% today — fifth consecutive positive session. Last Wednesday we were $5.47 from the trigger. Today we're 71 cents. The week-by-week tells the story:
| Wed Apr 22 | $5.47 away |
| Thu Apr 23 | $3.93 away |
| Fri Apr 24 | $3.28 away |
| Mon Apr 27 | $1.61 away |
| Tue Apr 28 | $0.71 away |
None of those daily moves was big. None of them needed to be. The strategy is built for exactly this — quietly grinding higher one fee at a time, day after day, until the next dividend prints.
→ At this pace, we expect a second April dividend before month-end.
A Second April Dividend Would Make Six in 2026.
We've already paid five dividends in the first four months of 2026 — January 7, January 28, March 5, March 25, and April 10. Income on $100K so far this year: $5,950. If the trigger hits before April 30, that's a sixth dividend in just over four months — and our YTD pace continues at ~22% annualized.
We never promise timing on the next dividend, and a slow week could push it into May. But the trajectory has been remarkably consistent. Five up days. 71 cents to go.
→ Six dividends in four months would be the fastest pace since launch.
The Strategy Doesn't Need a Bull Market. It Needs Activity.
The single most important thing about DeFi Income is also the simplest: we are not a directional bet. We don't need BTC to go up. We don't need stocks to go up. We don't need any asset to go up. We provide market-making liquidity, hedge our positions, and earn fees on every trade that crosses our quotes. Whether the broader market is climbing, falling, or chopping sideways, our income is a function of activity — not direction.
That's why a quiet, steady tape produces a quiet, steady grind higher in the share price. 27 dividends since launch. ~22% annualized in 2026. Hedged, not directional.
→ The strategy works because it doesn't depend on prediction.
Think of it like running a stall at a busy marketplace. We post bids and offers on a major decentralized exchange. Every time a trader hits our quote, we collect a fee and hedge our inventory immediately so we stay neutral to price direction. We don't care whether any asset goes up or down — we care how many people are trading.
27 dividends. ~22% annualized pace. Hedged, not directional.
