What is impermanent loss in DeFi?
Impermanent loss happens when providing liquidity to AMMs (automated market makers).
Cause:
Asset price changes affect liquidity pool balance.
Worse than simply holding tokens.
Mitigation:
Choose stablecoin pairs.
Use protocols with impermanent loss protection (e.g., Bancor).
Liquidity providers must weigh rewards against potential losses.
