Summary
Coinshares reports that fund outflows continue to the tune of $340m over the last 7 weeks. This is a reversal of the rather favorable inflow momentum in the preceding weeks.
MakerDAO’s NewChain could be a Solana if Rune gets his way. Choosing the Solana codebase for the new app chain has caused a fair amount of public debate and also led Vitalik Buterin to rage-sell MKR token. MKR is up by 6% over the last two weeks, however, even as defaults in MakerDAO’s RWA portfolio highlight the risks associated with the RWA strategy.
Aave’s overcollateralized stablecoin GHO continues its struggle to hold the USD-peg. Currently trading at $0.972, the community is working diligently to improve the profile of GHO and reinstall the USD-peg
Updates
Gearbox deployed two new assets: crvUSD and triCRV (crvUSD/ETH/CRV Curve v2 LP tokens). Our dashboard supports these assets and will display relevant data by the weekend. So far these assets are not being used by users.
Stablecoin monitoring
GUSD liquidity recovered from $0.7m to $2.2m. sUSD liquidity continues to drop from $7.8m to $6.9m. LUSD liquidity experienced a sharp decline from $13.2m to $5.1m. sUSD backing recovered from 387% to 437%. LUSD backing stayed largely flat around 230%.
There are no significant oracle deviations between DEX and CEX prices.
Watchlist
stETH remains the heavyweight collateral across Gearbox with a share of 54.8% (+350bps vs last week). The growing importance of stETH requires monitoring to avoid the build-up of significant cluster risks.
