Most people scroll past 1 to 4% APY. Fair.
We're opening a lending market for pPFE, and it changes the number. This is leverage on Pfizer, with the discount doing the heavy lifting. At today's rates the stack pays about 13% a year on your own money, now that will catch attention. Here's how, and where the catch is
pPFE already earns about 6.4% a year, fixed, from its discount to PFE. The lending market turns it into collateral on Morpho at 62.5% loan-to-value. Post it, borrow USDG against it, buy more pPFE, post that too. That's a leveraged Pfizer position, except the borrowed part is earning the fixed rate the whole time it's posted.
Loop does all of it in one signature: borrow, buy, post, repeat, up to about 2.28x your starting position. Unwind reverses it in one go.
The maths at 2.28x. Every dollar of pPFE earns 6.4% a year and you hold 2.28 of them per dollar of your own, so 14.6%. You borrowed 1.28 of them at a starting borrow rate of about 1%, so it costs 1.3%. Net: about 13% a year on your money, before Pfizer's price moves at all. If Pfizer goes up 10%, you're up about 23% on top of that. Margin at a broker costs 5 to 12% for the same exposure.
The borrow rate moves with demand: about 1% while the pool sits unused, about 4% once it's 90% borrowed, more above that. The carry only works while the shares earn more than the loan costs, so 13% is a starting figure. The page shows both rates live.
The catch, said plainly: leverage cuts both ways. At 2.28x, a 10% fall in Pfizer puts you at the line where the market sells some of your shares to repay. Pfizer moves 1 to 2% on a normal day and more on news. Pick a lower multiple if that line looks close. You see the exact price before you sign..
Borrow. Loop. Unwind. Three buttons.
