According to BlockBeats, on August 15, cryptocurrency researcher 0xLoki shared insights on Curve's recent developments. This year, Curve experienced a reduction in token emissions, coinciding with the end of the founding team's lock-up period. As a result, the actual decrease in inflation was significantly lower than in previous years. Despite the reduction in incentives, there has been no noticeable impact on the scale of business operations. For the first time since the reduction, protocol-side revenue has surpassed the unlocked output, indicating the potential for positive cash flow.
In terms of trading volume, Curve's second, fourth, and eighth largest pools are USDe, while the twelfth, eighteenth, and nineteenth pools are ETH's LST/LRD. There is a strong possibility that assets from the BTC ecosystem will be included in the future. Curve's gains from the liquidity layers of these three major assets far exceed those of Uniswap. Additionally, revenue contributions from Lending (Crvusd) have now surpassed those from Swap.
