HOW ~18.4% COMPARES TO EVERYTHING ELSE

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.

Even at our current ~18.4% pace — that's still more than 3x the best income fund on Wall Street, and nearly 6x a bank savings account.

WHAT'S GOING IN OUR FAVOR

Cycle #33, Day 7 — Holding at the $980 Reset.

DeFi Income: $980.16, −0.08% today — a quiet, shallow red session that holds the share price right at the $980 reset line. Dividend #32 paid $7.21/share (0.74%) on July 8 and the share price reset to $980. Reset is $980, next dividend triggers at $990, $9.84 away. 32 dividends since launch, 10 paid in 2026, ~18.4% annualized. Holding the reset on a red tick is exactly what a steady, low-drama cycle looks like.

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 provide market-making liquidity, hedge our positions, and earn fees on every trade that crosses our quotes. Whether the market is climbing, falling, or chopping sideways — our income is a function of activity, not direction.

That's why a quiet, steady market produces a quiet, steady grind higher — exactly what we're seeing. 32 dividends since launch. ~18.4% annualized in 2026. Hedged, not directional.

→ Hedged. Uncorrelated. Dividend #33 is $9.84 away.

HOW DEFI INCOME WORKS

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.

32 dividends. ~18.4% annualized pace. Hedged, not directional.
