【BitPush】Former executives of ride-hailing platforms Uber and Lyft, Travis VanderZanden, have recently taken new action—launching a savings token called BUCK. This token is pegged to Bitcoin and its main selling point is to provide users with an annualized return of about 7%. In the current environment where yields on crypto assets are continuously declining, such a return is quite attractive. The emergence of BUCK to some extent reflects that professionals from the traditional tech industry in the Web3 world are also experimenting with blockchain financial innovation, trying to see if they can carve out a share in the DeFi space.

【比推】出行平台Uber和Lyft的前任高管Travis VanderZanden最近有了新动作——推出一款名叫BUCK的储蓄代币。这个代币和比特币挂钩，主打卖点就是能给用户提供大约7%左右的年化回报。在当前加密资产收益率持续走低的背景下，这样的收益率还是挺吸引人的。BUCK的出现某种程度上反映了Web3世界里，传统科技圈的从业者也在试水区块链金融创新，看他们能否从DeFi赛道里分一杯羹。

7% annualized? Wake up, I've seen this trick way too many times.

7% annualized? Sounds good, but you need to read the terms carefully. These days, any promise of high returns should be approached with caution.

7% annualized? Sounds good, but I'm worried it might just be another scheme to cut the leeks.

7% annualized? These days, if someone dares to claim this number, I need to check the white paper first...

7% annualized? Another new trick to cut leeks. I've seen too many of these schemes.

It's another 7% annualized return. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have held spot assets at the end of last year. I should have switched to DeFi back then.
