Let’s talk about stablecoin swap pools.
Curve later introduced CryptoSwap pools for assets with greater price volatility, which can concentrate liquidity around the current price based on internal pricing.
To be honest, I hadn’t noticed this before either: before swapping, it’s worth checking the proportions of each coin in the pool. An unusually high proportion of a particular coin is often seen as a sign that the market is selling it.
$CRV is Curve’s protocol token. Locking it allows you to participate in voting.
Markets are always uncertain, so decide in advance what you’ll do if your assessment turns out to be wrong.
