Yield Products

Definition

Yield products are financial instruments or protocols designed to generate returns on deposited digital assets. These offerings typically involve lending cryptocurrencies to others, providing liquidity to decentralized exchanges, or staking assets in proof-of-stake networks. The returns, often called yield, can be variable and are usually paid in additional cryptocurrencies. They represent various mechanisms within the decentralized finance ecosystem for asset holders to earn passive income from their digital holdings.
