Payoff Scenarios

For each scenario below, assume the following:

100 YT-eETH-26Sep24 investment in the 'Pendle Ether.fi YT Tiger' Vault

Pendle Ether.fi-YT Tiger terms:

  1. Investment duration: 27-day

  2. Underlying asset = YT-eETH-26Sep24

  3. Strike price = 90%

  4. APY = 16.63% (1.15% per 27-day vault)

  5. YT-eETH-26Sep24 price on Day 1 = 0.0015 weETH


Scenario 1: No Currency Conversion - Deposit YT-eETH, Receive YT-eETH

Example Scenario: YT-eETH-26Sep24 price movements during 27 day period

What happens in this scenario?

  • TLDR: deposit YT-eETH-26Sep24, receive YT-eETH-26Sep24

  • YT-eETH-26Sep24 price on Day 1 is 0.0015 weETH and ends on Day 27 at 0.0013 weETH which is below the strike price of 0.00135 weETH (90% of Day 1 price)

  • Thus the vault trade expires and no currency conversion occurs. The full principal that was deposited by the user is returned (100 YT-eETH-26Sep24). The user earns 1.15% yield paid in YT-eETH-26Sep24 (same currency as deposit)

  • Deposit and yield are automatically reinvested for compounding returns into a new 27-day vault

What is the payoff for the investor?

  • Initial deposit = 100 YT-eETH-26Sep24

  • Deposit returned = 100 YT-eETH-26Sep24

  • Yield earned = 1.15 YT-eETH-26Sep24

    • APY = 16.63%, single 27-day vault yield = 1.15%

  • Total payoff = 101.15 YT-eETH-26Sep24 after 27 days (deposit + yield)


Scenario 2: Currency Conversion - Deposit YT-eETH, Receive weETH

Example Scenario: YT-eETH-26Sep24 price movements during 27 day period

What happens in this scenario?

  • TLDR: deposit YT-eETH-26Sep24, receive weETH.

  • YT-eETH-26Sep24 price starts at 0.0015 weETH and ends on Day 27 at 0.0016 weETH, above the strike price of 0.00135 weETH. This results in a 'conversion'.

  • A conversion occurs, whereby the deposited YT-eETH-26Sep24 is automatically sold for weETH (at the 'strike price').

  • The user also earns 1.15% yield, which is paid in the same currency (weETH).

What is the payoff for the investor?

  • Initial deposit = 100 YT-eETH-26Sep24

  • Deposit returned = .135 weETH

    • 100 YT-eETH-Sep24 sold for weETH @0.00135

  • Yield earned = 0.0015525 weETH
