# **Summary**

A proposal to:

- Increase sUSDe’s supply cap on Aave V3’s Ethereum - Main instance

## sUSDe (Ethereum-Main)

sUSDe has reached 100% supply cap utilization on the Ethereum Main instance.

### Supply Distribution

The supply of sUSDe on Ethereum is well distributed, with the largest supplier accounting for 22% of the total supply. The majority of the top positions borrow a varied list of stablecoins such as USDC, USDS, and USDT. This is likely in order to mitigate interest rate spikes of a single stablecoin asset. All of the positions maintain a safe health score given the high correlation between the borrow and collateral assets. None of the top positions pose a liquidation risk.

Overall, the assets borrowed against sUSDe show a similar distribution to the top positions, with USDC and USDS representing 37% and 22% of the borrowed value, respectively, and USDT representing 22%. GHO represents a smaller share of 1.6%. This low GHO usage is likely caused by the Ethereum facilitator cap being reached.

### Liquidity

DEX liquidity between sUSDe and USDC on Ethereum kept increasing over the month of November, stabilizing around $25M, supporting an increase in supply cap.

### Recommendation

Given user behavior and on-chain liquidity, we recommend increasing the supply cap to 750,000,000 sUSDe. This increase is backed by [Chaos Labs’ risk simulations](https://cdn.sanity.io/files/zmh9mnff/production/130e1060165f7ab0766bb4c70cc2ec41c1d1e458.pdf), which consider user behavior, on-chain liquidity, and price impact, ensuring that the higher cap does not introduce additional risk to the platform.

# **Specification**

| Chain | Instance | Asset | Current Supply Cap | Recommended Supply Cap | Current Borrow Cap | Recommended Borrow Cap |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Ethereum | Main | sUSDe | 512,000,000 | 750,000,000 | - | - |

# **Next Steps**

We will move forward and implement these updates via the Risk Steward process.

Is there a specific time this will be implemented?

Guys, you will kill the borrow rate for stables, you shouldn’t do it
