Bitcoin activity accelerates across Moonwell protocol

Coinbase's cbBTC saw significant growth this week:

  • Borrowing jumped 87% on Ethereum
  • Base network borrowing increased 13%
  • Ethereum deposits climbed 23%

This follows a broader trend of increased borrowing activity across Moonwell's markets.​ Last week, USDT and USDC borrows on Ethereum rose 236% and 148% respectively, while VELO borrows on OP Mainnet climbed 206% to nearly 6M VELO.​

The growth comes after Moonwell introduced enhanced borrowing rewards, allowing users to earn WELL tokens when borrowing USDC, USDT, ETH, or cbBTC across all Ethereum markets.​
