Curve's new stablecoin pegging mechanism is holding steady. Curve’s new stablecoin, crvUSD, has shown promising stability since its launch, trading within a less than 0.5% price range in its first month. crvUSD’s debut month outperformed rival decentralized stablecoins such as DAI, FRAX, and sUSD in their initial month. The stablecoin uses a unique price-pegging mechanism that combines stability pools and "PegKeepers" to maintain its price at $1. Users have minted ~4.7M crvUSD so far, according to Dune Analytics.
DAI savings rate might get more competitive. A new proposal by risk management firm Block Analytica has proposed a Dai Savings Rate (DSR) hike from 1% to 3.3%. The DSR enables users to earn yield on DAI, the fourth-largest decentralized stablecoin, by depositing their tokens into Maker. This proposed increase could attract more capital, possibly influencing stablecoin rates throughout DeFi. However, the increase hasn’t been approved by Maker governance yet. The proposal is part of the 'Endgame' plan initiated by MakerDAO, which includes reducing DAI's dependence on USDC and incorporating real-world assets into its reserves.
Liquid staking adoption gains more steam with LayerZero partnership. Tenet, a Cosmos-based blockchain providing liquidity and yield products for LSDs, will integrate its projects and tokens into LayerZero's technology. This will give users access to the broader DeFi ecosystem across multiple smart contract blockchains. Tenet operates using a diversified proof-of-stake consensus framework. Its native stablecoin is backed by a basket of interest-bearing LSDs from various blockchains. They also plan to launch a bridge using LayerZero to make their omnichain LSDs interoperable with the 27 different blockchains supported by LayerZero's network.
