7/ YBA issuers see Pendle as a premier go-to-market venue, often underwriting incentives for liquidity on the market and solving for Pendle’s supply side, while money markets view PTs as attractive collateral types to lend against, solving for Pendle’s demand side.

6/ The USDe growth has been a major tailwind for @pendle_fi. Pendle is now home to over 60% of the USDe supply, with recent growth bringing liquidity on v2 markets to over $9.8B.

5/ It is observed that @pendle_fi PTs exhibit the highest utilization rate as collateral types on major money markets out of any instrument within crypto. Additionally, borrowers max out leverage. Every $1 in PT deposits have generated about ~$0.89 in active loans.

3/ Similarly, the sUSDe market on Pendle, with $2.9B in sUSDe, is pricing the implied yield at 12% APY, while the underlying pays 6%. This market is earning a 25x sats boost, reconciling the premium.
