Curve Finance Integrates Llamalend and Expands crvUSD Lending Market
🔥 Curve's Llamalend Integration
Curve Finance has announced the integration of Llamalend, enabling a crvUSD stablecoin lending market on the Ethereum network. This market features auto-adjusting positions based on crypto-tokenized collateral prices, allowing borrowing, lending, and permissionless market creation. Recent updates from Curve Finance highlight record volumes and utilization for crvUSD pools, driven by soft-liquidations and de-liquidations. The crvUSD collateral has also been enabled on Strike Finance, offering high supply and borrow APYs. Curve's innovative lending system avoids hard liquidations, providing a better experience for borrowers compared to platforms like Maker and Aave.
Looks like someone borrowed absolute maximum against wstETH right before prices pulled back, and went through soft liquidation in crvusd.curve.fi. Amazingly, despite aggressive parameters and being under liquidation price - no hard liquidation!
