💎 Want to increase your BOB HOLD without selling? Let's talk about Liquidity in DeFi!
Many people here hold BOB waiting for the long term... but did you know you can farm extra tokens while you wait?
This is possible with the Liquidity Pools of PancakeSwap.
Yesterday I was looking at some, I saw the BOB pools – and I was impressed with the APR they are paying right now.
Of course, many of these pools are recent, so the trend is that the APR will decrease each week, but in the short and medium term, it seems very attractive for those who want to accumulate more BOB without selling.
✅ How does it work? You lend your tokens to the pool where people buy and sell BOB:
Put in 50% BOB + 50% USDT / BNB or USD1
The pool uses this for trades
In return, you earn fees from the trades and automatic rewards (APR)
➡ It's like being the bank of the market, letting your BOB work for you.
✅ What APRs are available today? On PancakeSwap, there are now several BOB pools paying well:
BOB / USDT → ~390% APR
BOB / USD1 → over 2,000% (initial phase, more aggressive)
BOB / BNB → between 80% and 140% APR
📌 Important: the APR is not fixed, it will decrease over time as more people enter the pool.
✅ Why does this complement holding? ✔ You remain exposed to BOB ✔ Automatic farming → generates extra tokens while the price doesn't explode ✔ Helps the token → increases market liquidity
✅ When does it make sense? If you believe that BOB will gradually rise → it's very worthwhile to farm and reinvest, because farming pays off
If you want to farm extra tokens while you wait → holding + LP is a way to multiply without compromising your profits in the next bull cycle
If BOB is going to explode quickly (5x or 10x) → it's better to exit the LP before the hype to catch 100% of the rise in pure holding
🎯 Final summary 💠 Pure holding = simpler, no risk of losing tokens in the rise 💠 Holding + LP = you multiply tokens in the short/medium term 💠 It's neither better nor worse, it's a strategy to complement and accumulate more BOB before the pump #DeFiLiquidity #BobQueen #Bob
