Chaos Labs Risk Stewards - Increase Supply Caps on Aave V3 - 06.09.25

Summary

A proposal to:

  • Increase FBTC’s supply cap on the Ethereum Core instance.
  • Increase PT-USDe-31JUL2025’s supply cap on the Ethereum Core instance.

All cap increases are backed by Chaos Labs’ risk simulations, which consider user behavior, on-chain liquidity, and price impact, ensuring that higher caps do not introduce additional risk to the platform.

FBTC

FBTC’s supply cap utilization has reached 88%.

Supply Distribution

FBTC’s supply distribution is highly concentrated in a single position, which does present a concentration risk. However, we do not view this as a significant concern at this time. The address in question is a Gnosis Safe multisignature wallet that currently supplies all of the FBTC on Aave, amounting to $18.9M, while borrowing $7.4M in USDT. This results in a health score of 1.99, substantially reducing the likelihood of liquidation. In addition, the position appears to be actively managed, which further mitigates potential risk.

Liquidity

Currently, a 100 FBTC sell incurring less than 5% price slippage, supporting a supply cap increase.

Recommendation

Given user behavior and the market’s liquidity, we recommend increasing the supply cap.

PT-USDe-31JUL2025 (Ethereum Core)

PT-USDe-31JUL2025 has once again reached 95% of its supply cap utilization, reflecting continued strong user demand.

Supply Distribution

The supply of PT-sUSDE is well distributed, with the top supplier accounting for only 7% of the total. Additionally, all positions are currently borrowing USDC, USDT, or USDS, assets that are highly correlated with the collateral, greatly reducing the risk of liquidation.

Liquidity and Market

PT-USDe-31JUL2025’s Pendle AMM liquidity has improved significantly since our last recommendation, with an 90M swap incurring less than 3% price slippage.

The PT-USDe-31JUL2025 market has also maintained a relatively stable yield range, consistently hovering between 8% and 9%.

Recommendation

Given user behavior, the market’s liquidity, and the high demand for the asset, we recommend increasing the supply cap by 300M PT-sUSDE-31JUL2025.

Next Steps

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