DeFi Looping: Innovation or Risky Leverage?

DeFi's $250M Ethereum market is seeing 30% of its activity driven by looping—a leveraged borrowing strategy where users repeatedly borrow and reinvest crypto for amplified returns.

While looping boosts innovation and profits, its inherent leverage demands vigilance from traders and platforms alike to avoid future market shocks. Hosted on Acast.
