The reason for the current framing is that pretty much every founder we have spoken to hears "high yield" and then instantly asks about safety. But like you said, at this spread it isn't risky
But yeah, any time you put those two words together it inspires skepticism, which is totally understandable. I think this comes down to a lack of education, most people think the only two dimensions in this space are yield vs risk when in reality there is a third one (liquidity) that is balancing out the spread
Super open to suggestions for alternate framing. Maybe something like "optimizing" yields?
