Horizon Weekly Highlights

This week, Horizon Total Value Locked (TVL) surpassed $591m, with over $187.9m in net borrows, and $293.5m in stablecoin supply.

Highlights

  • TVL has surpassed $590 million, with a total stablecoin supply of $294 million and net borrowings standing at $193 million. RLUSD and USCC remain the dominant supplied assets, mostly by active user demand for looping strategies and an ongoing incentive campaign.
  • The incentivization programs for RLUSD supply and USDC borrow markets continue to be active.

Incentivize Program

Incentive programs on Horizon stimulate liquidity supply and borrowing activity, with active campaigns for USDC and RLUSD.

  • USDC: A new borrowing campaign has been started, offering daily rewards of $1,667, effectively reducing the borrowing cost by approximately 3.5%.
  • RLUSD: The new lending-focused campaign has been active since November 18, distributing $40,712 in daily rewards, capped at a 15% APY.

Utilization Report

In the twelve weeks following Horizon’s market activation, total borrowed balances expanded sharply to $194.3 million, fueled mostly by ongoing users adjusting and reallocating their positions and new borrowing demand against the newly launched VBILL token.

Profitability heatmaps for leverage looping

RWA yields moved lower over the week, with USCC slipping to 5.09% and USTB easing to 3.67%. The decline in USCC was driven primarily by weaker CME SOL futures yields, which represent its largest underlying exposure.
