3/ 2️⃣Leveraged Long

Bullish on ETH? Deposit ETH, borrow USDC, buy more ETH. Gains soar if ETH rises, but a drop means liquidation + interest hits.

4/ 3️⃣Hedging Volatility

Hold ETH, fear a crash? Borrow USDC, short ETH. Short gains offset losses, but if ETH climbs, short losses sting.

5/ 4️⃣Leveraged Short

Think ETH will fall? Deposit USDC, borrow ETH, sell it. Buy back cheaper later, profit! ETH rising? Repayment + interest hurt.

6/ 5️⃣Arbitrage Plays

See a price gap? Borrow USDC, buy low, sell high across platforms. Fees and volatility are risks, plus liquidation if collateral tanks.

7/ 6️⃣Diversify Holdings

Hold ETH, borrow USDC, grab BTC or more. Spread risk, but correlation and interest can bite. Not for pure HODLers!
