In the context of DeFi, HODLing often refers to the practice of holding onto a particular cryptocurrency or digital asset, such as Ethereum or a stablecoin, for an extended period of time in order to maximize the potential for long-term gains.

This approach is based on the belief that the value of cryptocurrencies and other digital assets will continue to increase over time, so holding onto them for the long term is a good strategy.
