I went looking for the DeFi yield everyone promises on bStocks and found a pool paying 74,110% APR.

It holds $7.25.

Every thread this week ends the same way. Withdraw to your wallet, put it into DeFi, earn yield. None names a venue or a number.

Binance Research did. Its 8 July figures for PancakeSwap LP yields on bStocks top out at 228%.

I searched NVDAB on PancakeSwap myself, 15:00 Kyiv time. The first six results are all the same token on the same chain. The deepest quotes 324.70% APR on $1,002,026 of liquidity and did $5.38M in 24h. The 0.01% tier quotes 74,110% APR on $7.25 and traded nothing at all. A V2 pool shows 155.57% on $5.91.

Here is what I take from this. APR is a fraction, and on a dead pool the denominator writes the headline. The 228% from a month ago is not today's ceiling, but the loudest number on my screen was also the emptiest.

Read TVL first, APR second. A rate quoted on seven dollars tells you nothing about the rate you get on five hundred.

Honest limits: one ticker, one afternoon, one screen. These pools reprice constantly, so check before you size.

@BinanceCIS what APR were you shown when someone said bStocks earn yield?
