USDT’s current market share in Curve 3pool stands at 73.79%, with DAI and USDC accounting for 13.05% and 13.16%, respectively. This shift in stablecoin preference is palpable in lending rates, as Aave V2 reports more than a 20% increase in the USDT deposit rate and a 30% surge in the loan rate. This uptick has led several large players to lend USDT on Aave and sell it on DEXs like Curve.

A prominent transaction involved czsamsun.eth, who borrowed a staggering 31.5 million USDT from Aave V2 using 17,000 ETH and 14,000 stETH as collateral. The borrowed USDT was exchanged for USDC on 1inch and later deposited into V2 and V3 in large sums. This move was soon followed by another borrower mortgaging a sizable stETH amount and borrowing 50 million USDC.

Responding to these market shifts, Paolo Ardoino, CTO of Tether, expressed confidence in Tether’s resilience and readiness to redeem any amount.

This development underscores the dynamic nature of DeFi markets. It highlights the critical role of lending platforms like Aave and liquidity providers like Curve in responding to market fluctuations. With platforms continuously adapting to shifts and users leveraging opportunities, the DeFi sector demonstrates remarkable agility and vibrancy.
