Leveraged yield refers to strategies in decentralized finance (DeFi) where users amplify their potential returns by borrowing additional assets to increase their exposure to yield-generating activities. This involves using deposited collateral to obtain a loan, which is then reinvested into further yield farming or liquidity provision. While offering higher potential profits, it also significantly elevates the risk of liquidation. It represents an advanced and high-risk DeFi investment approach.
Context

The discussion frequently highlights the complexities of managing such positions and the inherent risks involved. Regulatory scrutiny is increasing regarding the transparency and risk disclosures for these financial products.
