September 1, 2022: Whales are Accumulating?๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿณ
Why Unusual On-Chain Activity May be Institutions Stashing $CRV

Lately @0xroborosCap and @DefiMoon have noted unusual activity.

Whale wallets accumulating large amounts of $CRV in what is speculated to be institutional hoarding.

What exactly is going on?

๐Ÿ”๐Ÿงต3/6
Specifically, at least a dozen wallets follow this same pattern:

Over the course of hours, sometimes days, a rapid succession of 5 figure withdrawals of $CRV from Coinbase to a previously empty wallet.

Once the wallet hits high 6 to low 7 figures, it sits idle. Image
๐Ÿ”๐Ÿงต4/6
@0xroborosCap suggests this pattern has the classic signature of institutional behavior, structured as to fall below the radar of on-chain analysts.

He suspects they are trying to front-run $crvUSD. Image
๐Ÿ”๐Ÿงต5/6
Coinciding with the $CRV emissions reduction, major exchanges may be running out.

This past month was the largest net outflow of $CRV from exchanges in the token's history.

Large withdrawals from Binance and FTX are constraining supply.

March 4, 2024: ETHDenver Recap ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ› ๏ธ
21 Attendees Share Their Takeaways from #ETHDenver2024

๐Ÿงต1/24๐Ÿ‘‡ Image
๐Ÿงต2/24
The inevitable question: "How was #ETHDenver2024?" seemed impossible to answer... the event was too big to get a proper sample.

Instead, we asked everybody we met to share their takeaways, and 21 were kind enough to so!

Excerpts follow, full quotes in article at end... Image
๐Ÿงต3/24
@scupytrooples, Founder @AlchemixFi:

"ETHDenver was a massive jubilation...

Each bear market we survive, the bond we share grows stronger. The sheer amount of development happening in the Ethereum ecosystem is staggering, and it is honestly too much to keep up with." Image

February 8, 2024: What the Frok? ๐Ÿค–๐Ÿ“Ž
@frok_ai, and the plan to merge AI and human interactions

๐Ÿงต1/10๐Ÿ‘‡ Image
๐Ÿงต2/10
At @CurveCap, we use ChatGPT / @OpenAI on a near daily basis for simple tasks.

But we've given up using it more for complex tasks.

Perhaps written text may also suffer from the same "uncanny valley" problem that's long plagued CGI images? Image
๐Ÿงต3/10
For instance, try having a conversation with the ChatGPT app.

It might be fun to try out, but the experience is quite unnatural. You'll likely never try it again.

It need only improve slightly and you'd likely return and invite your friends. A recipe for viral growth! Image

June 26, 2023: $crvUSD Monetary Policy ๐Ÿงฎ๐Ÿ“ˆ

The rates are too high! Can't Powell do something?

Not much. The $crvUSD borrow rate is governed by math and onchain inputs, so Fed Chair Jerome Powell would have limited tools at his disposal.

Here's how it works...

๐Ÿงต1/13๐Ÿ‘‡
๐Ÿงต2/13
$crvUSD's borrow rate has whipsawed from nearly 0% to 10% multiple times in the weeks since launch.

The Monetary Policy contract is responsible.

This contract considers the balances in the Peg Keeper pools and the debts of the Peg Keepers to set this borrow rate.
๐Ÿงต3/13
The first input into the Monetary Policy is the balances of the affiliated Peg Keeper pools.

With healthy liquidity in the the v1 pools with major stablecoins ( $USDC, $USDT, $USDP, $TUSD ), $crvUSD has an implied price and a robust ecosystem of utility.

June 6, 2023: $eUSD-epeg ๐ŸŽญ๐ŸŽข
Why is @LybraFinanceLSD's stablecoin trading above its peg?

Plus, Goldman Gary helps test $crvUSD

๐Ÿงต1/9๐Ÿ‘‡ Image
๐Ÿงต2/9
Who wants stability? Boring markets have made it tough to test soft liquidations for $crvUSD.

Duplicitous double-dealing in DC to the rescue!

Market dumps gave two good stress tests, during which the stablecoin performed within expectations.

๐Ÿงต3/9
What remains mythical, (contrary to every other lending protocol), is the concept of hard liquidations.



We might need significantly more FUD before somebody gets actually rekt on the borrower-friendly platform. GET FUDDING! Image

@CurveFinance DAO approves $150MM ceiling for $wstETH as $crvUSD collateral

Also... how low can TriCrypto NG gas fees Go?

๐Ÿงต1/9๐Ÿ‘‡ Image
๐Ÿงต2/9

A substantial Curve vote passed with overwhelming support this weekend, aptly described here by @WormholeOracle:

gov.curve.fi/t/increase-crvโ€ฆ

Two big actions:
* Raise PegKeeper debt ceilings to $25MM
* Add $wstETH market with newer contracts and $150MM debt ceiling
๐Ÿงต3/9
At the current debt ceilings, the $2.5MM PegKeeper pools are near their capacity, meaning it's plausible we could otherwise see $crvUSD drift above $1.

While hodlers may not complain about an upward depeg, it would ruin these beautiful graphs by @nagakingg Image
