Are you doing LisUSD wealth management? A good choice. But honestly, if you're only cycling through collateralizing assets, borrowing coins, and arbitraging, you're only scratching the surface of this ecosystem's red ocean.
Let's be frank: truly profitable people never just "use" a product—they learn to "own" it.
**Level One: You need to understand the tools in your hands**
LisUSD isn't a stablecoin that appears out of thin air. It is minted through over-collateralized BTC, ETH, BNB. This design is crucial—it determines why it can stay stable and why the interest rates are so low. Understand this, and you'll know where your money is and where the risks lie.
**Level Two: This is the real turning point**
Most people's approach is like this:
Collateralize BTC or ETH → Borrow LisUSD → Invest in a high-yield financial product → Earn the spread.
This is called "cash flow arbitrage," and yes, it can generate stable profits. But you know what? That's only the first half.
What is the second half? Take some of your profits, invest part of it in LISTA tokens, and then stake them.
Why do this? Here are three reasons:
**First**—Governance rights. When you hold and stake LISTA, you gain voting rights. You can influence key decisions like interest rate adjustments, risk parameters, and new feature launches. What does this mean? It means you can protect your arbitrage environment and even proactively optimize it.
**Second**—Growth options. The entire LisUSD ecosystem is expanding. If a revenue-sharing mechanism is introduced in the future, who will benefit first? Those who staked LISTA early. You not only earn current interest but also share in the ecosystem's growth dividends.
**Third**—Psychological advantage. Transitioning from "I am using this product" to "I own this ecosystem" shifts your mindset, making your decisions more long-term and rational.
**Level Three: Let the earnings run automatically**
If you truly want to go deep, your logic should be like this:
Arbitrage strategies generate stable cash flow → Use this cash to monthly invest in LISTA → Stake LISTA to earn rewards → Use these rewards and airdrops to supplement your collateral assets, expanding arbitrage scale → Return to step one, creating a positive feedback loop.
The beauty of this approach is that your income sources become diversified. No longer just earning from the spread, but threefold:
- As a creditor, earning interest through LisUSD - As a shareholder, benefiting from ecosystem growth via LISTA - As a governance participant, having a say in shaping the future direction
**How to get started?**
First, continue your current arbitrage strategy—this provides a stable cash flow.
Second, set up automatic investment. It’s recommended to allocate a portion of your monthly profits to buy LISTA, based on your actual earnings, without investing everything at once.
Third, go to the official website to complete staking. This step is crucial because only by staking can you gain governance rights. Also, pay attention to the latest governance proposals and vote for the directions you support.
**A word of honesty**
In the DeFi world, wealth distribution is fundamentally determined by the depth of understanding of the product. On the surface, everyone is doing arbitrage, but the deep participants and superficial users will have vastly different returns five years from now. Not because they are smarter, but because they transitioned earlier from "consumer" to "shareholder."
You’ve already found a good way to make money. Now, the question is: do you want to go further and become a true participant and beneficiary of this ecosystem?

It's about time to use the airdrop principal to invest in LISTA. Passive income really makes a huge difference.

Oh, okay, I admit this logic is a bit extreme.
Honestly, I never thought about users turning into shareholders.
But can pledging LISTA really earn ecosystem dividends, or is it just another air option?
I need to calculate this dollar-cost averaging; I can't just pour the arbitrage profits back in.
There are too many early adopters, so I need to be cautious.

The words are good, but how many people are truly willing to go all in?
---
It's that same set of "transforming consumers into shareholders" rhetoric, hearing it until my ears are calloused.
---
Can pledging LISTA really generate dividends, or is it just another "beautiful vision"?
---
Basically, it's just asking us to buy more coins; the tricks to cut leeks have been renewed.
---
A nested profit structure, and the risks are nested too.
---
Feels like listening to a financial sales course—looks great, but what about reality?
---
Early entrants have already made a lot of money; what can new entrants get now?
---
Governance rights sound impressive, but actual voting power is probably in the hands of a few big players.
---
Monthly fixed investment in LISTA, again more money to spend, where do the profits come from?
---
From just the tip of the iceberg to a three-pronged approach, but in the end, it's still about throwing money in.
---
To truly own an ecosystem, you need enough principal; without money, you can't make regular investments.
---
This logic sounds good, but in practice, it's a double pressure of time and money.
---
Whether the ecosystem is good or not ultimately depends on the token price; everything else is just a smokescreen.

Got it, I see your theory sounds good, but I always feel like something's missing... Oh right, real money
Turning consumers into shareholders sounds like a standard phrase from some Zhihu answerer, but the problem is most people simply can't stick with it
This wave indeed has potential, the key is whether your arbitrage scale is enough to cover the cost of the LISTA dollar-cost averaging
Honestly, staking governance rights sounds very sexy, but how many proposals can truly make a difference?

This article does have some substance, but to be honest, most people can only see the tip of the iceberg in the end.
A nicer way to put it is a mindset issue; less kindly, it’s just that they don’t have the money to keep playing, haha.
I believe in governance rights, but the premise is that LISTA is truly valuable.
Transforming consumers into shareholders sounds great, but the prerequisite is that this ecosystem can really sustain itself in the long run.

Well, that's true, but how many people can really stick to dollar-cost averaging with LISTA?
---
The step from consumer to shareholder is indeed a watershed moment.
---
Talking about stories here, I just want to ask—what's the inflation rate of LISTA?
---
Governance rights sound great, but does anyone really read the proposals carefully?
---
Diving into layers of complexity, in the end, it still depends on whether the ecosystem can survive.
---
Early LISTA holders are definitely enjoying it, but those who are entering now should be mentally prepared.
---
That logical chain is a bit long, and the risks are compounded accordingly.
---
To go from user to shareholder, the prerequisite is that the ecosystem doesn't collapse.

To be honest, just arbitrage alone is really too shallow.
Staking LISTA is the true choice for long-term players.
Transforming from a consumer to a shareholder—this shift is truly crucial.

To be honest, I've heard the logic of turning users into shareholders too many times before.
Dollar-cost averaging LISTA, staking, governance rights... sound great in theory, but what about reality? Most people end up getting cut in the end.
But your article really hits the point — the actual implementation is really difficult.
