Lending

Lending protocols form the backbone of the decentralized money market, allowing users to lend or borrow digital assets without intermediaries. Using smart contracts, platforms like Aave and Morpho automate interest rates based on supply and demand while requiring over-collateralization for security. The 2026 lending landscape features advanced permissionless vaults and institutional-grade credit lines. This tag covers the evolution of capital efficiency, liquidations, and the integration of diverse collateral types, including LSTs and tokenized RWAs.

Morpho co-founder: The "liquidity shortage" in some vaults is not a systemic flaw, but a natural reaction mechanism under stress.

Morpho co-founder: The "liquidity shortage" in some vaults is not a systemic flaw, but a natural reaction mechanism under stress.

PANews reported on November 6th that Morpho co-founder Merlin Egalite responded to the "liquidity shortage" experienced by some vaults. He stated that when the market is under stress, lenders often withdraw funds simultaneously, leading to increased capital utilization and decreased liquidity, and in extreme cases, even a temporary lack of available liquidity. However, this is not a systemic flaw, but rather a natural reaction mechanism of the lending pool under stress. To restore balance, the interest rate model automatically adjusts borrowing rates. For example, Morpho targets a capital utilization rate of 90%, meaning that in most cases, approximately 90% of deposited funds are lent out. When utilization spikes to 100%, borrowing rates increase fourfold. Typically, market interest rates can return to a balanced state of approximately 90% within minutes; under greater market stress, recovery may take several hours. Furthermore, the "liquidity shortage" is localized and controllable, occurring only in isolated market imbalances. A few days ago, only 3-4 of Morpho's 320 vaults experienced temporary liquidity shortages, while the rest operated normally. Therefore, the claim that "the entire agreement is experiencing a liquidity crunch" is misleading. Insufficient liquidity does not necessarily mean losses or bad debts; it simply means that a large amount of funds have been lent out in the short term. The market will react in real time, repricing the risk and seeking a new equilibrium.

ListaDAO and PancakeSwap monitoring risky lending vaults on MEV Capital and Re7 Labs

ListaDAO and PancakeSwap monitoring risky lending vaults on MEV Capital and Re7 Labs

The post ListaDAO and PancakeSwap monitoring risky lending vaults on MEV Capital and Re7 Labs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. PancakeSwap and ListaDAO are monitoring several vaults where sUSDX and USDX are used as collateral. The vaults show alarmingly high borrowing rates, as well as no repayments.  PancakeSwap and ListaDAO announced they are observing lending vaults on MEV Capital and Re7 Labs. The vaults hold USDT and USD1 as stable and liquid assets, but use the more volatile sUSDX and USDX as collateral.  We are aware and has been closely monitoring the @MEVCapital USDT Vault and @Re7Labs USD1 Vault, where collateral assets ($sUSDX and $USDX) continue facing abnormally high borrowing rates without repayment activity. As an on-chain P2P lending protocol, Lista Lending has been… — Lista DAO (@lista_dao) November 6, 2025 ListaDAO expressed concerns that the vaults showed extraordinary borrowing rates, but no repayments. The DAO, as a P2P lending protocol, was concerned about potential DeFi instability.  USDX and sUSDX offer high-risk collateral The freely available USDX asset already trades at a discount at $0.68. The staked version, sUSDX traded at a premium of $1.13, though it recently fell to $1.06. The staked version cannot be freely swapped or released, hence the usage of lending vaults to access a more liquid stablecoin.  The value of staked USDX (SUSDX) started dropping in the past day, suggesting heightened risk for the synthetic stablecoin. | Source: Coingecko Unless the protocols address the imbalance of the lending vaults, depositors may face problems with bad loans and loss of value.  The troubles with the USDX synthetic stablecoin started just days after another asset, XUSD, diverged from its $1 price. The token caused losses from lending of up to $93M. The event drew attention to lending protocols and their various risk levels, as well as the practice of taking funds from low-risk protocols to seek higher, riskier returns.   Lista DAO called for MEV Capital and Re7…

Emergency governance vote has been launched by ListaDAO. Incident raises concerns about asset safety and transparency in decentralized lending.  Lista DAO has intensified its push for responsibility and accountability from MEV Capital and Re7 Labs after long-lasting liquidity problems in their vaults. Concerns are growing over rising borrowing rates and the lack of repayment activity in collateralized assets. The increasing danger for lenders in the MEV Capital USDT and Re7 Labs USD1 vaults has led to quick governance action and made the lending protocol consider possible urgent emergency liquidation steps.

Lista DAO, which operates as an on-chain peer-to-peer lending protocol, confirmed that collateral assets used within the vaults (sUSDX and USDX) are facing persistently high borrowing rates without any counterbalancing repayment flows. “As an on-chain P2P lending protocol, Lista Lending has been actively engaging both teams to resolve the situation,” the DAO stated in a public post on X (formerly known as Twitter). “Continued inaction and delay will not solve the issue. We urge MEV Capital and Re7 Labs to take immediate responsibility: finalize decisions, communicate transparently, and work with us to protect users and restore market balance.” Unresolved Market Imbalance This situation has raised concerns over possible chain reactions across the DeFi lending space.
