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.​

Because of heavy soft-liquidations/de-liquidations over the past 24h, the major $crvUSD pools have 100-200% liquidity utilization + good base vAPY. Majority of LLAMMA volume was from wETH liquidations as wETH use as collateral for crvUSD has grown a lot in 2024📊📈 $CRV #DeFi
