Deposits in lending vaults have topped $10 billion, with yield-seeking funds piling into on-chain strategies. $BTC is still trading at 83009.96 USDT, up just 1.01% in 24 hours—the price has barely reacted to this deposit boom.
Early last year, these vaults held just $4 billion. They’ve now more than doubled in size. Each vault has a curator who selects lending strategies, sets risk limits, and charges a fee. Typical yields range from 3% to 10%, while higher-risk strategies can reach 20% or more.
Not all collateral is easy to liquidate. Illiquid tokens, stablecoins backed by crypto assets, and tokenized private credit may all be used as collateral. If collateral loses value or can’t be sold, depositors could take losses. Automated liquidations can intensify a downturn, while hacks, code bugs, and pricing flaws create additional vulnerabilities. Although the contracts are publicly visible, headline yields can obscure the underlying exposures. Regulators are focusing on the lending risks behind these $10 billion in deposits.
If liquidations cascade during a downturn, could these deposits end up putting pressure on prices?
