According to Adrian (@adriannewman21), the current crypto market lacks true on-chain fixed income products, as yields are primarily driven by factors like borrowing-lending spreads, funding rates, and leverage, rather than stable cash flows as seen in traditional finance (TradFi) fixed income systems. This structural difference means that while investment-grade (IG) bonds in TradFi can offer steady returns of 5-6% based on corporate cash flows, crypto yields are often more volatile and less predictable, impacting trading strategies and risk management for crypto investors (Source: Adrian Twitter, May 12, 2025).
