馃搲 Liquity Redemption Drop
馃搲 Rates Falling Fast
Redemption volume declining significantly over the past two weeks on Liquity protocol.
Key impacts:
- Users lowering their borrowing rates in response
- Makes Liquity's borrowing costs more competitive
- Rate management can be automated through delegation
Background context: Redemptions allow users to exchange stablecoins for collateral when trading below peg. In Liquity v2, this mechanism will be improved with better individual protection and reduced global redemption volumes through dynamic interest rate adjustments.
