This surge follows a statement by crypto investor CrediBULL Crypto, who detailed their experience with Convex Finance. The investor first purchased CVX in 2021 at around $5 and recouped their initial investment within a year due to the high APR from “bribes,” or incentives, paid to CVX holders bi-weekly. These bribes, around 30% APR, scaled with the price, allowing the investor to recover their principal faster than expected.

Despite CVX reaching an all-time high of $60, it eventually dropped back to $2. The investor took advantage of this dip to triple their holdings, making a final purchase at $2 to reach their desired allocation.

With the APR still around 25%, the investor expects to recover their investment again within a year, while holding a much larger stake, hoping for new all-time highs to take future profits.
