@2FactorFinance makes me think about leverage in terms of staying power. BTC-Jr combines junior tranches with raw BTC collateral. If those tranches are wiped out, the remaining BTC still tracks the market. The route back from a drawdown is what I'd watch.
BTC-Jr targets ~1.33x exposure, with no forced liquidation.
But here's the catch: the losses are still amplified. You're removing one risk, not all of them.
That's a pretty important distinction people tend to miss.
Here's a weird thing about BTC: you can nail the long-term direction and still get wrecked trying to trade it.
@2FactorFinance is exploring a way to separate holding BTC with extra exposure from constantly managing a perp position.

Here's my biggest takeaway from studying BTC leverage: higher isn't always better.
@2FactorFinance takes a Kelly-inspired approach to durable leverage for buy-and-hold investors, using perpetual tranching on Base.

Another EDU buyback is onchain.
20,000,000 EDU.
a total of 40M EDU now sitting in the buyback treasury.
We acquired TinyTap back in 2022, a learning product millions of teachers and students already use. Since 2019, they have generated over US$30 million in revenues.
It is the first education business whose revenue we will point at EDU. More to come.
The wallet speaks for itself.

The perpetual part comes from replacing maturing tranches with fresh ones each week. BTC-Jr targets about 1.33x exposure, but that multiple can change.
I'd read the drawdown section before choosing a side.

The first question I have with BTC yield is: who's paying for it?

@2FactorFinance splits BTC exposure into BTC-Sr and BTC-Jr. Jr absorbs losses first and gets amplified exposure; Sr has a downside buffer, but can still lose value.

That also explains the yield. When the junior side has excess demand, funding flows to senior holders. The direction can reverse if the balance flips.
So I'd look at the balance between the two pools before treating any displayed yield as a steady income rate.
Just saw this and it actually makes sense.
Most people treat leverage like a casino button. Kelly treated it like math.
1.33x for BTC-Jr is restrained in the best way. Not trying to moon in a week, just trying not to get eaten by volatility over years.
@2FactorFinance
Every leverage decision is a sizing decision.
Kelly answered it in 1956.
Too little and you leave growth on the table.
Too much and volatility eats it.
For BTC-Jr, the math landed on 1.33x.
