💸 Negative Borrow Rates Live Across All Lista Ethereum Markets
**Lista DAO is currently offering negative borrow rates across all its Ethereum markets** - meaning users get paid to take out loans. The affected markets include: - wBETH → ETH - WBTC & cbBTC → USDT/USDC - USDC & USDT → USDT/USDC This unusual situation allows borrowers to earn yield simply by borrowing assets. The mechanism works through Lista's lending emissions, which create a negative net borrow rate. Users can supply collateral, borrow against it, and receive compensation for doing so - effectively reversing the traditional lending model where borrowers pay interest. The negative rates apply to both Bitcoin-backed and stablecoin-backed positions on Ethereum. [Explore markets](https://lista.org/lending/borrow)
