SparkLend

Spark has introduced the **Stablecoin FX Layer**, a shared liquidity infrastructure built on Uniswap v4 that addresses stablecoin liquidity fragmentation. **Key Features:** - Enables stablecoins to access pooled liquidity instead of creating isolated pools - Initial deployment includes approximately $150M across USDS/PYUSD and USDS/USDT pairs - Built on Uniswap v4 infrastructure **Background Context:** This follows Spark's partnership with PayPal to grow PYUSD supply by $1 billion. The Spark Liquidity Layer leverages Sky's $8+ billion balance sheet to provide predictable capital injection without relying on token incentives or third-party liquidity providers. The system can dynamically manage both lending markets and DEX liquidity across platforms like Uniswap and Curve, enabling institutional-scale transactions.
