One thing I’d watch closely with TermMax isn’t TVL growth.
It’s liquidity behavior.
A fixed-rate market can look healthy on paper, but the real test comes when users actually need to enter, exit, refinance, or roll positions.
So I’d track three things:
→ How quickly available liquidity gets utilized
→ How much capital returns after maturity
→ Whether borrowers keep choosing fixed rates when floating markets become cheaper
That third one is especially interesting.
If users willingly pay for rate certainty even when floating rates look attractive, that suggests the product is solving a real problem—not just offering another DeFi interface.
And for TMX, I think the important story is similar:
Supply can be fixed. Demand has to be earned.
The strongest signal won’t be another headline number.
It’ll be users coming back with capital.
