BOROS LETS TRADERS HEDGE FUNDING RATES WITH FIXED-RATE YU TOKENS

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Boros' YU tokens are fixed-rate instruments that let long and short traders hedge volatile funding rates. In bull markets, longs pay high funding - buying YU at a fixed rate locks in costs. Shorts in bear markets can sell YU to fix incoming funding gains. Basis traders (e.g., long spot + short perp) can use short YU to preserve favorable funding without closing positions, especially relevant for protocols like Ethena. While Boros is early and short-YU demand dominates, it reflects smart yield engineering for the growing perp ecosystem.
