By 2026, with the continuous development of the BNB Chain ecosystem, more and more emerging token projects are surfacing. Many of these projects have promising technological innovations and commercial prospects, but the problem is—liquidity is concerning, making it difficult to sell, and idle if held.



For those engaged in long-term value investing, this creates a dilemma: selling might mean missing out on future gains, but not selling means funds are stuck idle.

The recently launched long-tail collateralized lending scheme by ListaDAO hits this pain point perfectly.

The core logic is simple—use your long-tail tokens as collateral to borrow USD1 stablecoins. This way, you don’t have to sell your tokens at a loss and can still access highly liquid assets. USD1, a stablecoin that has grown rapidly over the past two years, is now widely used in lending, wealth management, payments, and other fields, with excellent liquidity.

Once you have USD1, the gameplay begins. You can deposit it into PSM high-yield savings, which offers an annualized return of 7%-12%; or participate in the PT-USDe arbitrage mechanism, which can achieve an annualized return of about 19.01%. As a result, your long-tail tokens quietly appreciate in value, while USD1 continues to generate income—effectively earning two streams of revenue from one asset.

Here's a simple calculation: suppose you collateralize long-tail tokens worth 10,000, and borrow the corresponding USD1 to implement a 10% annualized savings strategy, earning 1,000 in a year. If your long-tail tokens also increase by 30%, that’s an additional 3,000 in profit. Combining both, the investment efficiency significantly improves—this is what is called "maximizing asset utilization"—not wasting any potential for asset appreciation.
BNB-0.76%
USD1-0.06%
USDE-0.04%

Damn, someone finally explained this pain point clearly. The feeling of holding onto trash coins but being unable to move is so torturous. This combo punch is indeed perfect. Long-tail coins are appreciating there, and you can still earn returns with USD1, which is like making money secretly, right? But speaking of USD1, is its liquidity really that strong, or is this just another marketing wave? You need to verify it yourself. An annualized yield of 19% sounds quite tempting, but I'm worried about sudden crashes or some tricks. Who can guarantee the risks of this kind of DeFi? Wait, isn't this just leveraged lending with a different shell? What about liquidation risks? For long-tail coin collateralized loans, you need to understand the rules clearly. Don’t get wiped out by a single LTV drop limit, or you'll suffer huge losses. It sounds good, but you need to run your own data. Anyway, I remain skeptical of new projects on BNB.

This logic sounds good, but how many actually get the 19% annualized return... How is the risk aspect calculated?

This operation is indeed awesome. Long-tail coins finally have a way out. Being overly optimistic, will liquidity really be that good? I've played around with borrowing coins to earn interest, but the key is to understand the risk factors clearly. Annualized 19%? Wake up, if that were true, I would have already gotten rich. Be cautious of liquidation risks. Maximizing asset utilization sounds good, but in reality, it's just leverage and a gambler's mindset. Is USD1 reliable? I haven't really paid much attention to this stablecoin. Wait, what is the principle behind PT-USDe arbitrage, and why can it yield such high returns? Long-tail coins concentrated on one platform, the risk exposure needs to be carefully calculated. Finally, someone is working on this. It was really uncomfortable being stuck on liquidity issues before.

Sounds good, but the volatility of long-tail tokens... do people really dare to collateralize them? --- Making 4000 yuan a year sounds attractive, but what if the long-tail token gets cut in half directly? Still gotta pay back USD1. --- I understand this logic, but the question is, who dares to collateralize tokens they don't believe in liquidity for? --- A 19% annualized return sounds outrageous; I need to carefully look at where the risks are. --- Wait, isn't this just leveraged borrowing with a different shell? Why does it feel like it's wrapped in a pretty exterior? --- Long-tail tokens can still "appreciate silently," but I think the bigger chance is they just silently become worthless haha. --- I don't understand why they don't just sell and buy mainstream tokens instead of playing such complicated games. --- Listadao's move indeed solves a pain point, but only if you truly believe that long-tail token has potential. --- Calculations are so clear, but in real operations, who has seen it go so smoothly? There are always variables. --- Maximizing asset utilization sounds like maximizing risk as well.

Sounds good, but I still doubt whether this scheme can really last until 2026...
