You’re basically running the classic loop and it’s really nice. For the LP side, I used to just manually rebalance and eat IL when needed but lately I’ve been using a tool to manage my positions in similar pools (EZManager). It helps with staying in range and reduces how often I have to touch things manually.
Strategy-wise, I split earnings some back into the LP to compound and some into spot ETH/BTC to grow the stack… Keeps things balanced.

I sell ETH on cex then buy sol

been using deBridge and Mayan too, but sodax has been decent for this kind of ETH -> SOL route when i want to compare options in one place. main thing is still checking the full cost with eth gas, because that’s what usually wrecks the trade.

Nobody with more than 2 brain cells is calling for 10k ETH any time soon.
It's not going to happen unless we get monetary easing.
Haven't even hit 5k.

Exactly, ETH & SOL putting that on the agenda + several already quantum Secure projects getting more attention (See latest Google paper)

since when is ETH cheaper to transact in than BTC

ETH might be used more because of cheaper transaction fees

BTC, ETH, XRP fall as U.S., Iran negotiators fail to reach war resolution

No, not everyone is calling 10k ETH.
In fact, mostly it's knallerbsee calling 10k ETH... xD
But, I completely agree in a more realistic assessment.
!tip 100

People been calling 10k ETH for the past fives. You don’t need to write an essay for people to know to pump the breaks.

The setup is basically stacked directional risk, not just passive yield. If your collateral is ETH and BTC, and the borrowed USDC goes into an ETH or BTC heavy LP, you are basically long the same trade in multiple wrappers. That is fine in a grind up market, but rough in a fast drawdown. You can see the same thing in a lot of looping strategies, good carry until one sharp move turns the whole stack against you at once.

Everyone's calling $10k ETH, but we should probably pump the brakes a little

Been running similar setup for like 8 months now and tbh it really depends on your conviction about BTC direction short term

When my positions fall out of range I usually look at the fees I've collected vs potential IL. If fees covered most of IL then yeah I'll just rebalance and reset the range. But if BTC is pumping hard and I think it keeps going, sometimes better to just add the USDC side to pay down some loan instead of taking that IL hit

For LP earnings I've been doing 70/30 split - most goes back to expanding the LP position but some always goes to increasing my base ETH/BTC on aave. That way you're growing both your lending capacity and LP size over time instead of just one or other

Racing sim taught me patience with positions lol, sometimes you gotta wait for right moment to make moves instead of constantly adjusting

Will ship on Monday. I pack well, provide tracking. Will not chat you first. Open to middleman at your expense. **Do not BIN unless you agree to these terms.** I may consider a ship first of some silver through chat but must have very high flair to consider. My flair is not that high but I have sold over 100 oz of silver and bought over $10,000 of gold so I am not fly-by-night and you will not be disappointed by the quality or service.

I'll try and keep this short.
so a part of my defi/crypto strategy is putting ETH and BTC on aave, borrow against it, put that usdc into Eth or btc / usdc LPs. nothing revolutionary it's been talked about in basically every post on here.
My question is about actually managing those positions. My BTC/USDC pool is about to fall out of position and I'm just curious what you all do. Do you just rebalance and take the IL? or depending on which way the pool falls do you pay off the loan with the usdc or just stack the eth/btc back into aave?
Also when I come to re invest the earnings from LPs do you reinvest back into the position or would you recommend using the earnings to grow my Eth/BTC holdings?
just trying to find the most effective method.

For ETH → SOL specifically: deBridge and Jumper.exchange are the two fastest and most reliable right now. deBridge usually has the best rates for larger amounts ($1K+). Wormhole works but is slower. Avoid anything that requires you to bridge to an intermediate chain first - direct cross-chain swaps save you a second fee. Total cost should be under $3 for any reasonable amount.

It used to happen a couple times per month that someone would find a golden MEV opportunity, and if you happen to be the lucky validator, you could make tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of ETH.
This doesn't happen much anymore because most stuff is on L2s now.

As long as your crypto payments are in a 100% visible blockchain you will be tracked and can be censored. Look at the tainted ETH from tornado cash. Most crypto is not a fungible means of exchange. Hell it’s not even anonymous when you purchase on a cex that you have to give a copy of your id to.

For ETH to Solana specifically, deBridge and Mayan have been the most reliable for me in terms of speed and fees. Wormhole works but it's slower. Before you bridge, always check the total cost including gas on the Ethereum side, sometimes it's actually cheaper to just send ETH to an exchange, swap to SOL, and withdraw. Especially if you're moving anything under 1k.
