#termmax $MAGMA $BTW $BOME @TermMax
i keep thinking the weird part of a TermMax Vault is not even the fixed-rate lending side.
its that the same USDC can spend part of its life earning a floating rate somewhere else before TermMax ever turns it into fixed-rate credit.
like okay... i deposit into a TermMax Vault, curator sets the strategy, lending orders are sitting there waiting for somebody to actually want that fixed APR.
my brain goes cool, the capital is parked for TermMax lending now.
except... parked where exactly?
because while those TermMax orders are still unmatched, that USDC can be sitting in Morpho earning the base variable yield instead of just staring at an empty fixed-rate order.
then a TermMax borrower finally arrives.
and apparently thats the moment the same USDC stops earning Morpho’s variable yield and gets pulled into the TermMax fixed-rate order. the order gets consumed, and now the capital that was floating five minutes ago is suddenly inside a matched fixed-rate lending position.
i didnt rebalance anything or choose some new strategy halfway through either.
so when did my capital actually become “fixed-rate capital”... when i deposited into the Vault? when the curator placed the order? or only when TermMax found a borrower willing to take it?
“the order was fixed before the capital was.”
and thats the part i keep circling because after the TermMax position matures or gets repaid, that same capital can end up back in Morpho earning variable yield again.
same TermMax Vault, same USDC i deposited... except what that capital is actually doing seems to depend on whether somebody has taken the order yet.
