crvUSD Reaches $100 Million Market Capitalization

After three months of deployment, crvUSD, the stablecoin developed by Curve Finance, has officially reached a market capitalization of $100 million.

According to data from Curve Finance’s website, the current supply of crvUSD fluctuates around $110 million.

Collateral and Interest Rates

Currently, the list of assets supporting collateral to mint this stablecoin includes wstETH, WBTC, sfrxETH, and ETH. Due to its mechanism relying on market supply and demand, the borrowing interest rates for these markets have been fluctuating recently.

The average interest rate, according to Curve Finance, hovers around 5.2%. However, there is a significant incentive for users to migrate to this platform, as interest rates occasionally drop below 1%.

Competitive Advantage

One of the competitive advantages of crvUSD in the near future is the series of Stability Pools, offering attractive yields for Liquidity Providers (LPs) to balance the exchange rate.

In contrast to crvUSD, DAI has been taking defensive measures, particularly by reducing the DSR (Dai Savings Rate) to 3.14%, despite having recently approved a rate of 3.49%. Additionally, MakerDAO has approved proposals to lower liquidation ratios for Vaults and reduce Stability Fees.

These steps are aimed at attracting more users to DAI, easing borrowing conditions, and lowering costs, in response to the recent moves by competitors.
