Inverse Finance July 2025 Growth Metrics

In November 2025, Moonwell protocol addressed approximately $1.7M in bad debt from October and November incidents, prioritizing high-activity markets like VIRTUAL and cbXRP. The proposal seeks to balance debt repayment obligations with value return to token holders through buybacks.
