What are we seeing in the DeFi #IPORates market?

In a situation like this we can't expect anything but outsized volatility

Both AAVE and Compound maxxed out with both at 99% utilization for USDT borrows

IPOR USDT currently sits at 59.29%

IPOR Index: app.ipor.io/ipor-index-sta… The actual borrow rate is above 100% annualized, remember IPOR is a mid-market rate

From the IPOR Index screener we can see little change in the USDT pool compositions, only the borrow rate has increased.

Right now is a good time to be level headed and think several steps into the future. What we know is that two US banks have failed- Silvergate and SIVB. Silvergate hurts crypto markets, SIVB hurts everybody.

a🧵 First let's look at the exposure to SIVB in USDC. Circle has posted that it has $3.3 billion in cash at SIVB backing USDC. That's 8.2% of the cash reserve so in case of a total loss that would mark USDC down to $0.918.

What's the big deal about IPOR?

How does bringing a $450 trillion TradFi market to DeFi help the industry as a whole mature, bring liquidity, and build long-term utility?

 First, the interest rate derivatives market is comically large. We're talking over 400X larger than the entire market cap of all cryptos.
