Thoughts
Markets
Supply increased by 10% to $142 million with ~7k suppliers.
Borrow increased by 10% to $41 million with ~1k borrowers.
Last week, we saw a ton of borrowing come into the DAI market, and subsequently a large supply of DAI from folks chasing the elevated lending rate (which peaked ~17% apr). This week, the USDC market played catch up, as borrowers noticed they could borrow USDC for much cheaper than DAI. Most new borrowing was in USDC, and the interest rates are approaching parity with DAI. Total DAI borrowed decreased by $714 K, while total USDC borrowed increased by $3.5 million.
