Should you hold the token of the protocol you use the most?
Say you are super bullish on AAVE. Your stables and collateral are deposited there. You trust it, you believe it is the best, so you also buy $AAVE to get exposure.
It feels like using Apple products and then buying Apple stock.
But crypto is different.
If AAVE gets hacked you lose deposits and $AAVE dumps. Double risk. That is not diversification.
So maybe if you are a heavy user of a protocol, you should not hold its token.
And if you are bullish on growth, maybe better to hold the token instead of depositing.
Same logic for AAVE, Hyperliquid, Pendle, Fluid, Lido and many others.
