Jupiter Lend, a leading lending platform on Solana, has faced backlash amid allegations of ‘false advertising’ about risk.

According to critics, the platform ‘lied’ about its isolated risk and its rehypothecation could spark a wider DeFi contagion. 

Responding to the allegations, Jupiter Lend’s Kash Dhanda acknowledged that the initial ‘zero contagion’ claim from his team was not ‘100% correct’ and added,

For the unfamiliar, rehypothecation involves a lender reusing a borrower’s collateral, like securities for banks or tokens in the crypto space.

This directly increases leverage that can be risky during liquidation events or bank runs (widespread instant redemptions). 

Notably, the above risk triggered the depegging of Stream Finance’s yield-bearing stablecoin xUSD and related assets in November. Investors incurred hefty losses.

As such, Jupiter Lend critics feared the protocol could expose broader Solana DeFi to a similar explosion. 

Kamino slams Jupiter Lend

The scrutiny began after Samyak Jain, founder of Fluid, acknowledged that Jupiter Lend vaults re-use users’ collateral for yield hunting and are ‘not completely isolated.’ 

Marius, founder of another Solana lending DeFi Kamino, noted that Jain’s statement contradicted his (Jupiter Lend) rival’s earlier claims of ‘no contagion’ risk. 

For him, this meant “misleading users” and denting trust. As a result, Marius said Kamino blocked a migration tool to Jupiter Lend to mitigate the risk.

For Tushar Jain, Managing Partner at Multicoin Capital, the team at Jupiter was either ‘incompetent’ or ‘misleading users to attract deposits.’ 

Market reactions

Despite the crisis, there were no massive outflows from Jupiter Lend as of writing.

According to DeFiLlama, the lending protocol saw $36.5 million in Daily Inflows on the 6th of December and an additional $26 million on the day after.

This suggested that the situation didn’t trigger massive investor panic, at least by the time of going to press. 

Jupiter Lend is part of the broader Jupiter ecosystem, which entails a DEX aggregator, staking, prediction, spot, and perpetual market trading, and more.  

However, in terms of lending traction, Kamino had a total locked value (TVL) worth over $3B, doubling Jupiter Lend’s size. However, the latter has been eroding Kamino’s share since October, per Token Terminal.

Final Thoughts

  • Jupiter Lend exec clarified the misleading ‘zero risk’ claims amid community backlash.
  • Surprisingly, there was no massive investor panic as Daily Inflows remained steady.

Why BONK’s weekly trend remains deeply bearish despite price rise

Why BONK’s weekly trend remains deeply bearish despite price rise

The post Why BONK’s weekly trend remains deeply bearish despite price rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bonk saw a 5.55% rally in the past 24 hours, but CoinMarketCap data showed that its daily trading volume has fallen by nearly 10% at the time of writing. These gains could be driven partly due to the Solana [SOL] launchpad Bonk.fun news that 51% of the fees would be used to buy back BONK, up from the existing 10%. BONK sinks below long-term support Source: BONK/USDT on TradingView Bonk’s [BONK] weekly chart showed a strong downtrend in progress. The $0.0000096 support, which stretched back to early 2024, was being retested as resistance. Two weeks ago, a weekly trading session closed below this support. The OBV was also in a downtrend with the price, and the RSI’s reading of 36 showed strong bearish momentum. Overall, it was a place where the bulls needed to make a last stand. As things stand, the buyers lack the conviction to reverse the trend. Source: BONK/USDT on TradingView On the 4-hour chart, there seemed to be a bit of hope for BONK bulls. A range formation (purple) between $0.00000846 and $0.0000105 has halted the downtrend over the past three weeks. At the same time, the OBV trended higher, while the RSI oscillated between bullish and bearish momentum. It was a sign that there was buying pressure in recent days. Despite this hopeful development, it would be extremely difficult for the bulls to overturn the long-term downtrend. The loss of $0.0000096 as support, just below the psychological $0.00001 level, was a big blow to bullish sentiment. The bullish BONK case The rising OBV hinted at a potential, albeit unlikely, BONK trend reversal. A breakout past $0.0000105 and a retest of the range high as support would be a buy signal. To the north, the next target would be $0.0000135. Traders call to action — Respect…
