# Sustainable BTC Yield

VDEX enables the collateralization of Bitcoin and Ethereum at face value. [Volatile Asset Collateral](/protocol/whitepaper/volatile-asset-collateral.md) is not converted at deposit, allowing margin and yield accounts to reflect real-time changes to underlying asset value.

For example, a user deposits 1 Bitcoin when $BTC = $100,000, so they have $100,000 margin. If $BTC increases to $110,000, then margin updates proportionally to $110,000. Within margin accounts, this enables capital efficient funding arbitrage and delta-neutral hedging.

This applies to equity within the Virtual Market Maker as well. Liquidity providers may deposit Bitcoin and Ethereum and receive yield proportional to the real-time value of their assets. They also enjoy the appreciation or depreciation of the underlying asset.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.vdex.trade/introduction/core-features/sustainable-btc-yield.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
