Stablecoin Growth On the Rise
- Stablecoins grew substantially the past month, with the Top 5 Stablecoin Marketcap growing from $129B to just under $150B.
- USDT and USDC were responsible for most of the supply growth, with USDC growing by $7.8B and USDT by $6B. Stablecoin supply growth, especially for centralized collateralized stablecoins like USDT and USDC, is a positive sign indicating money is entering the markets.
- Also relevant is the fact USDC has been slowly growing against USDT in market share. The USDC/USDT ratio has grown from 0.19 at the start of the year to 0.53 today, a sign of market preference for USDC which is considered to have less risk compared to USDT.
zkSync Metrics Soar on ZK-Rollup Narrative
- With the ZK-Rollup narrative popping off the past few weeks, we can see that users are moving funds over to ZK-Rollup projects like Loopring and zkSync to test it out.
- Since the start of November, unique users grew by ~85k and deposits grew by ~$74.5M, the fastest pace seen yet.
- On zkSync, the 2 main live projects now are ZigZag Exchange (Orderbook DEX) and Gitcoin (Funding Platform). According to L2fees, token swaps through ZigZag on zkSync have the lowest fees.
Loans Relatively Stable in Volatile Times
- Given the volatile markets over the past month, it seems that on-chain leverage users are relatively unfazed.
- MakerDAO has seen consistent loan growth (~$1B) since the beginning of November while Aave and Compound have been generally flat over the same period.
- Interestingly, Aave had $30M in liquidations over a few day span in May on the back of the last major leverage-driven sell off. But compared to this most recent pullback, it only did ~$3M in liquidations.
Aggregator Reliance
- 1inch has been one of the go-to DEX aggregators on Ethereum since last year. Being an aggregator, using them will automatically route your DEX swaps to the best rate available.
- Bancor has been more reliant on having its volume referred by 1inch, floating between 15-30% of volume daily; Sushiswap and Uniswap were on the lower end at 5-10%.
- This doesn’t come as a surprise as Uniswap and Sushiswap are the top few DEXes where users go to swap or list their tokens.
