Simple Summary
A proposal to increase the debt ceiling of MKR on V3 Ethereum
Motivation
The current debt ceiling for MKR on V3 Ethereum, set at $6M, has reached 100% utilization.
Given current market conditions and improved liquidity for MKR on Ethereum over the past months, our Isolation Mode Methodology supports increasing the debt ceiling for MKR to $8.5M.
It is important to note that the majority of MKR debt positions are concentrated within two accounts, accounting for over 80% of the total debt, as outlined below. While this concentration does not affect the current recommendation, it is something to continue monitoring and will be considered in future MKR recommendations and in cases of significant market changes.
V2 → V3 Migration
There are still nearly 3,400 MKR supplied on V2 Ethereum, with nearly $750K in stablecoins borrowed against MKR collateral. The current supply caps and proposed debt ceiling should allow for the migration of these positions.
