Pseudo-Delta Neutral Hedging Experiment 6: How Price Volatility Affects Regular PDN
This was an experiment that started as one to track the performance of a Regular PDN position based off Orca’s SOL-USDC, which yield is derived from just trading fees, and is a pool with relatively high trading trading volumes (and thus APRs) due to trading volumes directed to it from the super popular STEPN. Note that this does mean that when STEPN sets up its own DEX (Decentralized Exchange), this would be a play that no longer make sense, but we can all certainly make hay while it shines.

The original objective was to evaluate the performance of a trading fee-only pool.
