$131M worth of $CRV is at risk of liquidation if the price drops by 35%.
The Curve Founder has borrowed $110M in stablecoins against all his $CRV - 50% of the circulating supply.
This could have severe implications for DeFi, with lending protocols at risk of accruing bad debt
2/ Given these risks, new deposits and loans have been paused on Aave V2.
This action, along with an active governance proposal to freeze $CRV assets on Aave V2, aim to limit further risk exposure and mitigate potential damages due to market liquidity concerns.
3/ The current buy-side liquidity across ETH and stablecoins is only $51M, just 42% of the liquidatable amount on Aave and FraxLend combined.
The siloed liquidity of blockchains has become a nuisance for users trying to explore the multi-chain universe.
A number of bridges have emerged to serve this critical need.
How does the bridging landscape look like today?
Let’s find out:
2/ Foreword
For this comparative analysis, only multi-chain bridges are included, in a period from January to May 2023. Also, native bridges exclusively between L2s and Ethereum are not analyzed.
3/ Ethereum makes up 58% of DeFi TVL
The total TVL in DeFi is $47.6B, with Ethereum making up for $27.8B of it.
As the blockchain with the highest liquidity, other networks will seek to draw a portion of the liquidity to themselves.
LSDfi - the next Lego on top of DeFi composability
As $ETH staking infrastructure matures and users get increasingly comfortable holding and earning with $ETH in its staked form, it is time to look forward to the next step in DeFi composability - LSDfi.
Let’s explore:
2/ Following Lido V2, the interest in staked $ETH remains strong.
Currently, LSDs sum up to nearly 48% of the 18.8M $ETH staked to date.
3/ Given the expectation of continued staked $ETH growth, various protocols have emerged to serve this pool of capital that would potentially be seeking out more utility and yield.
While not comprehensive, below are protocols we currently find notable within the LSDfi category.
