Impermanent Loss Risk: Significant IL exposure due to volatile asset composition. Price divergence between USDC, WBTC, and WETH causes losses. Smart Contract Risk: Exposure to Curve's crypto pool algorithm and Convex contracts. USDC Risk: Circle stablecoin dependent on reserves and regulatory compliance. WBTC Custody Risk: BitGo custody of underlying Bitcoin. Volatility Risk: This pool is much more volatile than stablecoin-only pools. Correlation Risk: Crypto assets often move together but BTC/ETH divergence creates additional IL.
