High APR

Definition

High APR refers to a significantly elevated Annual Percentage Rate, indicating a substantial return on an investment or a high cost of borrowing. In digital asset markets, particularly within decentralized finance DeFi protocols, high APR often signifies the annualized interest yield offered on deposited cryptocurrency assets. These rates are typically dynamic and reflect market demand for borrowing the underlying assets or rewards for providing liquidity. Such rates can be attractive but also correlate with increased risk factors.
