Single sided pooling: full risk on exposure, full upside & downside coupled with yield + protocol incentives
Stable coin pair pooling: muted upside & downside, more stable $ valuation coupled with yield + protocol incentives
Asset pair pooling: muted upside & downside, more stable $ valuation than a full risk on position, but less $ stable than when pairing with a stable coin. Yield + protocol incentives, no doubt.
Three different major components for a strategic yield bearing portfolio. Aside from volatility risk, protocol risk are notable. Allocation to a single protocol carriers more risk can diversifying amongst several. Also worth mentioning are the #CeFi protocols.

There's tool that facilitate single sided exposure to a specific asset where full upside and downside is achieved. There's other systems with monetary policy that allocates a portion of yield to escrow for a period of time. Other systems where there's pure platform revenue...
