Stablecoin yield without the traps: routing cash with fees in mind

Key Takeaways

• Yield is not just APR; net return is what remains after fees and slippage.
• Routing capital is a skill: you need a checklist, not guesswork.
• Small improvements compound when you rebalance weekly.

The Hidden Drag on Stablecoins

Most traders focus on headline yields but forget the leak: conversion fees, withdrawal costs, and spread. A 6% yield can vanish if you rotate too often or use the wrong rails.

Practical Routing Framework

1. Define a base wallet for “cash” and a separate wallet for “yield.”
2. Use a weekly cadence to move funds; avoid daily churn.
3. Only rotate when the net gain beats your round‑trip costs.
4. Keep a 20% cash buffer for sudden opportunities.
5. Track a simple scorecard: net yield, fees paid, and time in strategy.

Risk Controls

• Avoid concentrating all cash in one venue.
• Limit exposure to complex products you cannot unwind fast.
• If redemption is slow, cap size and wait for liquidity windows.
