The DeFi leverage ratio has soared to 2021 highs: what is the reason?
A worrying signal has been recorded in the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector: the on-chain leverage ratio has returned to levels seen five years ago. This indicator currently stands at 38%, directly correlating with the levels of the active bull market in 2021. However, the current dynamics are fundamentally different in nature.
Contrary to expectations, the increase in the share of borrowed capital relative to the total value locked (TVL) is not driven by rising demand for loans, but by a rapid contraction of the collateral base itself...

The Bitcoin market is going through a difficult period. Despite a recent bounce from the $60,000 level, leading analysts at market maker Wintermute warn that the bottom could be significantly deeper.

Кредитное плечо в DeFi вернулось на уровни 2021 года: что стоит за тревожным сигналом
Сектор децентрализованных финансов (DeFi) вновь оказался в центре внимания аналитиков. Ончейн-коэффициент кредитного плеча, демонстрирующий соотношение заемного капитала и маржинальных позиций к общей стоимости заблокированных активов (TVL), неожиданно вырос до 38%. Это значение сопоставимо с пиковыми показателями 2021 года, что вызывает серьезные опасения относительно устойчивости экосистемы.
Однако, в отличие от 2021 года, текущий всплеск обусловлен не ростом спроса на заемные средства, а стремительным сокращением объема заблокированных активов...
