Historically, leases have been getting 1-4% APY and payment routing 0-1%.
The variability appears to have been due to onchain fees, since that's the cost of deploying or redeploying capital.
Payment routing is a function of how many payments are done.
For Rails, I can't guarantee returns, but I'm very bullish on the future of decentralized lightning payments.
I'd expect that the market will continue to evolve and we'll see more Bitcoin payments. Routing revenue is a derivative of that.
