Supply Distribution


Source: LlamaRisk, July 21, 2026

The top twenty syrupUSDC suppliers run health factors between 1.01 and 1.30 with a median of 1.03, and all twenty carry outstanding debt. Fifteen borrow USDT0 and ten borrow USDC against syrupUSDC collateral, with smaller positions in GHO, AUSD, and mUSD, so the cohort holds stablecoin debt inside E-Mode category 1 (LTV 90.0%, LT 92.0%) and health factor stability tracks the syrupUSDC price.

Recommendation

We recommend raising the supply cap from 160,000,000 to 240,000,000 on Aave V3 Monad. Supply has grown 13.3% over the past seven days, and the proposed cap is approximately 1.64x current outstanding supply, landing at approximately 60.8% post-change cap utilization. The reserve is collateral-only, so the borrow cap is unchanged.
