Macro, DeFi Yield, Options, and Stablecoins

A finance-heavy puzzle connecting crypto market vocabulary with traditional market concepts.

Macro Drivers

Crypto prices often react to monetary policy, inflation data, and broad liquidity conditions.

DeFi yield products use lending, collateral, and incentive mechanics to create returns and risks.

Options define directional rights, deadlines, and exercise prices.

Stablecoin risk depends on the peg mechanism, issuer reserves, and market confidence.
