In @CoinDesk's recent Crypto Long & Short, Northstake CEO @jesperjohansen breaks down how looped ETH staking without lending market exposure can generate +6% APY.
It works by capturing the spread between Ethereum native staking (~2.9% APY) and Lido stETH (~2.4% APY).
That rate differential is the foundation:
👉 Stake ETH natively in a @LidoFinance stVault via Northstake's SVM
👉 Mint stETH against the staked position (no borrowing)
👉 Exchange stETH for staked ETH and consolidate back into validators
👉 Repeat
At 10 loops, the strategy yields ~6.6% APY. No liquidation risk. No lending protocol. No variable borrow rates.
