Supply Distribution


Source: LlamaRisk, July 10, 2026

Across the top stcUSD suppliers, health factors range from 1.01 to 2.12 with a median of 1.06, and the positions carry outstanding debt against their collateral, important to note that the supply is basically concentrated across 3 addresses, representing moderate concentration risk. The debt across the positions is USDm borrowed against stcUSD in the Stablecoins E-Mode (LT 90%), so health factor stability depends on the stcUSD to USDm price relationship.

Recommendation

We recommend raising the supply cap for stcUSD from 40,000,000 to 60,000,000 on Aave V3 MegaETH. Utilization stands at 100% (39,999,614 / 40,000,000), and the increase brings post-change utilization to approximately 67% with headroom for further supply growth.
