Ecosystem Metrics

All changes (shown with + or -) represent the difference compared to values from one week ago.

CrvUSD & scrvUSD Performance

The peg is strong. CrvUSD is working exactly as it should. Now that the yield has once again increased after last week's slump, the staking ratio of crvUSD has risen once again.

This has led to crvUSD going slightly above peg, which wakes the PegKeepers, and lowers the average borrow rate. These interconnected mechanisms are stabilizing and dampening interest rate fluctuations. The systems are working. Curve has never been a better place to borrow from.
