Prerequisite Primer — TradFi Market Making
Bid-ask spreads, inventory risk, delta/gamma, adverse selection — the TradFi market-making concepts every LP question reduces to.
Impermanent Loss (Divergence Loss)
Divergence loss: why LPs underperform holding. IL = 2√P/(1+P) − 1.
TradFi: Short-gamma inventory P&L
Pendle PT Tokens as Zero-Coupon Bonds
Pendle PT as zero-coupon bond, YT as the floating leg of an interest rate swap.
TradFi: ZCB + interest rate swap

TradFi: Front-running + payment for order flow

TradFi: Rehypothecation + cross-margining
