Definition ∞ Sustainable Yields refer to investment returns or earnings generated from digital assets that can be consistently maintained over an extended period without depleting the underlying capital or relying on unsustainable practices. These yields are typically derived from genuine economic activity, such as transaction fees, lending interest, or protocol revenue, rather than speculative or inflationary token issuance. The concept emphasizes long-term viability and capital preservation.
Context ∞ Discussions around Sustainable Yields are prominent in news concerning decentralized finance (DeFi) and long-term investment strategies in digital assets. Reports often differentiate between legitimate, revenue-generating yields and those driven by token emissions that may not be durable. Investors and analysts increasingly prioritize projects demonstrating sustainable yield mechanisms for capital allocation and risk management.
