This is not a joke.

Pendle will be the largest project in this space.

Pendle's TVL will flip Eigenlayer & Lido.

And nobody is ready for this.

▪️▪️▪️

This thread will explore the future of Pendle including:

- Pendle V3

- BTC Restaking;

- and Permissionless Listing

🧵/1 Image
@pendle_fi History does not repeat itself, but it rhymes.

@pendle_fi V1 achieved US$40M TVL back in 2021.

- Then it's TVL dropped by 90%.

Pendle V2 achieved US$6.7B TVL in 2024.

- Then it's TVL dropped by 50%.

Naturally, Pendle V3 TVL will at least do another tenfold.

But why?

/2 Image
@ViNc2453 WHAT IS PENDLE "V3"?

It was mentioned by the team, but never did they specifically told us what it is.

Except @crypto_linn.

Remember what she said? ⬇️

"OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT"

That's right.

I'm about to tell you my speculation that will make you go "OH SHIT" as well.

PENDLE'S BLUE OCEAN STRATEGY:

The devs have always been seeking for innovation.

V1: Provide the "missing piece" in DeFi = Fixed yield product

V2: Renovating AMM to accomodate deeper liquidity + Complete adaptation for LSD&LRT narrative.

So what about V3?

/4 Image
@tn_pendle @PendleIntern It was previously hinted that Pendle is aiming to become the next Binance.

Does that mean Pendle will:

- Create its own chain?
- Provide deeper liquidity for its products?
- Further minimize transaction fee?
- Offer transaction discounts to users who pay in $PENDLE?

/5 Image
Ok. Hear me out.

What if I told you that

Pendle

might become

the Centralized

Exchange

of

Interest Rate Derivatives.

▪️▪️▪️

That's right.

A CEX for Interest Rate Swaps ('IRS')

▪️▪️▪️

If this is true, then no wonder @crypto_linn went absolute bonkers.

/6 Image
"OK, SO WHAT ABOUT IT?"

Some of you might not understand the implications of this.

If this is true, then Pendle V3 will become the first IRS CEX across DeFi AND TradFi.

Yes, you read that right.

Not even traditional finance has centralized exchange for IRS.

Why is that?

/7 Image
IRS CEX isn't feasible in TradFi because:

- Risk of parties defaulting is too high;
- Depending on the structure, significant costs may arise with entering and managing the swap agreement, and;
- IRS may have limited liquidity = parties may not enter/exit at favourable rate.

/8
IRS is feasible on Pendle/blockchain because:

- Pendle's pseudo-AMM (w/ flash swaps) enables users to enjoy much lower slippage fees with deeper liquidity;
- No "default" per se;
- Streamlined structure that reduces costs with entering/managing swap agreement

/9 Image
Here's the exciting part.

▶️The market for IRS in TradFi is approx. $500 TRILLION USD.

▶️Pendle has proven to be capable of handling large liquidity on 6/27 (i.e. battle-tested $2.7 bil in redemption).

▶️IF INSTITUTIONS ARE WILLING TO PERFORM IRS ON BLOCKCHAIN:

Cont.
/10
▶️TradFi IRS market (~$500T) siphoned to DeFi market.

▶️Huge transaction fee accrued by Pendle.

▶️Supernova TVL.

▶️$PENDLE Price = ?

You see where I'm going at?

For those who's still fudding the TVL or scared to buying the dip

They are NGMI.

/11 Image
Since Pendle V3 will probably launch at a later date, lets focus on something "soon"er.

BTC RESTAKING:

Built upon @babylon_chain, multiple protocols have launched LIQUID RESTAKING for BTC.

This allows users to stake wBTC for (____)BTC on Ethereum.

/12 Image
This means BTC holders can now participate in PoS consensus mech without sacrificing:
- Liquidity, nor;
- Security of their holdings.

TLDR: LRT holders now receive staking reward & protocol's yield.

/13
MOST IMPORTANTLY

PENDLE WILL BE INTERESTED

TO SPLIT THIS YIELD BEARING ASSET

MEANING ALL YOU DEGENS CAN USE YT TO LEVERAGE

AND MULTIPLY DEM BLING 💎 INTO BLING BLINGS 💎💎💎

/14 Image
Babylon X BTC-LRT is on track to become the next narrative.

ALPHA INFO: As @ViNc2453 had mentioned in his AMA on June 11, this narrative might evolve into:

Babylon

X BTC LRT

X BTC L2

👁️👄👁️

I urge everyone to WATCH. THIS. SPACE.

/15 Image
Why is this important?

WBTC TVL is US$8.87 Billion.

WBTC has minimal yield opportunities as for its status quo.

It would be an absolute pleasure if Pendle is able to tap into the BTC ecosystem.

WBTC ➡️ BABYLON ➡️ LRT + L2 ➡️ PENDLE = YUM YUM 😋

/16 Image
PERMISSIONLESS LISTING:

Pendle at it's core is a permissionless yield-trading protocol.

Its contract is permissionless = ANYONE can deploy a new market with ANY duration.

However, the current UI is PERMISSIONED = the team will still need to whitelist it before listing.

/17
If permissionless listing is enabled, it will be similar to Uniswap.

Automated liquidty protocol (Customizable AMM)? Check ✅

Liquidity provision? Check ✅

Constant product formula? Check ✅

All we need is for the team to say the word...

/18 Image
Implications of Permissionless Listing:

By enabling projects to list their products on Pendle, it opens up their revenue streams.

Whenever users transacts with one of Pendle's liquidity pool, they now pay a transaction fee of X percent.

More fees = vePENDLE/PNP/EQB 🔺🔺🔺

/19
As a wrap up, I heard from a little bird that "Pendle is in discussion with several NEW high profile L1 protocols.

Pendle is truly a ditto at this point.

Able to adapt and evolve into different shapes and forms.

Bullish AF.

1a/ Why should you trade on Pendle?

2025 is the year of stablecoins.

Mcap of stables is >$240b, with $USDT and $USDC dominating it.

VCs are eyeing over Tether and Circle's profit - hence making their own stables.

Soon enough, the stablecoin duopoly will be no longer. Image
1b/

Unlike Tether/Circle, new stables are giving BACK their PROFITS to users.

With tradable yields, @ethena_labs saw an opportunity to boostrap liquidity.

What if I told you Pendle Boros will achieve...

👉 Over $40B in TVL,

👉 Consistent annual revenue of at least $246M,

👉 Over $2B in daily trading volume,

👉 and $PENDLE will surpass $40.

w/ aid of Ethena's 2025 roadmap, I'm able to tell you EXACTLY my thesis on Boros.
🧵👇 Image
1. What we ALREADY know about Pendle Boros:

- Will create funding rate market that allows funding rates from perpetual exchanges (e.g. Binance), w/ daily trading volume of ~$150-200B;

- Can also trade RWA (e.g. T-bills, real estate), EVM & SVM products' rates;

- Margin trading - enabling users to leverage your fixed rate yield (i.e. similar to PT loop with Morpho/Contango, but integrated into Boros);

- Further synergies between Pendle V2's yield products in Boros;

- SPECULATION of Boros LP - which will share revenue to $PENDLE;

- Boros will tap into liquidity of DeFi, CeFi, and even TradFi.Image
2. What we know about @ethena_labs's 2025 Roadmap

Being the most ambitious piece of article published just 3 days into 2025, the roadmap certainly does pack a punch.

Price action of $ENA went skyrocketing immediately after the announcement.

Here's the TLDR version of their roadmap:

➤ iUSDe - Exporting wrapped sUSDe to TradFi markets, which will ABSOLUTELY annihilate other competitors in the "fixed income product" section.

➤ sUSDe integrated into Telegram web-3 wallet

➤ Projection of QUADRIPLING their growth in 2025 - w/ BTC price at $200k, the target USDe supply will reach $25B. 🔥Image

This thread might trigger some of our StepN 'woke' users in relation to the importance of $GST, so here goes nothing.

By now, virtually every StepN user has noticed the depreciating value of $GST.

But let's go back to the basics of the mechanics of $GST.

/1
"GST has unlimited supply..." and is burned in 5 different ways.

Shoe-minting, repair, level up, gems upgrade, and unlocking socket.

But perhaps more importantly, GST can also be converted into GMT, USDC or SOL/BNB in the in-app wallet.

/2


whitepaper.stepn.com/tokenomics/gst
Note: At nowhere in StepN's whitepaper does it explicitly refer to GST as a 'utility token'.

This is because the developers understands that it isn't "just a utility token".

GST has an inherent value which is reflected in its price.
