Bybit Utilizes bbSOL for Launchpool Mining with High Returns

According to @EmberCN, Bybit has significantly invested resources into bbSOL, a liquid staking token for SOL similar to stETH on the Ethereum chain. Bybit's Launchpool offers two mining pools using bbSOL, with staking rewards currently yielding an annualized return of approximately 8%. Now, mining with bbSOL on Launchpool yields a 54% return, greatly surpassing the staking or financial product annual yields. If you hold SOL, swapping to bbSOL for Launchpool mining is advantageous. For USDT holders, leveraging USDT to borrow bbSOL for participation can yield better returns, with a 38% interest rate differential between bbSOL mining's 54% annualized return and the 16% borrowing rate, compared to directly using USDT for mining at 21-29%.
