As a seasoned analyst with years of experience in the ever-evolving world of decentralized finance (DeFi), I find the latest move by Curve Finance highly intriguing. The introduction of Savings-crvUSD (scrvUSD) is not just another stablecoin, but a strategic step towards enhancing DeFi composability and offering low-risk returns to investors.
The decentralized lending platform, Curve Finance, has introduced a yield-generating stablecoin called “Savings-curve USD” (scrvUSD). This coin is designed to provide “lower risk” investment opportunities for users and contribute to the expansion of the crvUSD stablecoin.
As per the announcement made on November 13, users can create scrvUSD tokens by depositing crvUSD into the scrvUSD module within Curve Finance. The value of crvUSD is backed up by various digital assets such as Ether (ETH), Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), and others, ensuring it’s overcollateralized. In an interview with CryptoMoon, representatives from Curve Finance clarified that the users’ funds in scrvUSD remain securely stored within their respective vaults and are never rehypothecated or transferred elsewhere.
This new aspect of the system helps maintain consistent borrowing rates for the crvUSD stablecoin that is housed within the Savings crvUSD. As Michael Egorov, Curve’s founder, explained to CryptoMoon, with over 3 million crvUSD already present in the Savings crvUSD, this part of the system has proven to be sustainable.
Curve Finance proposes that the integration of scrvUSD will boost the flexibility of their lending protocol’s stable coins, enabling them to be utilized throughout the decentralized finance environment to generate unique trading and investment prospects for users.
Curve Finance increases DeFi composability
As an analyst, in June 2024, I personally observed a strategic change made by Curve Finance. Instead of relying on the 3cr token for fee distribution, they opted to employ their native crvUSD stablecoin. This shift, as explained by Curve Finance founder Michael Egorov during an interview with CryptoMoon, aimed at motivating users to distribute the stablecoin across various decentralized finance (DeFi) services and solutions.
After making crvUSD the primary asset for fee distribution within Curve Finance, the DeFi platform revealed a substantial decrease in annual issuance of Curve DAO Tokens (CRV) – the governance token for the Curve decentralized autonomous organization. In 2020, around 274 million CRV tokens were minted, but this number dropped to just 137 million by 2024.
In November 2024, Curve Finance started partnering with The Open Network with the aim of enhancing compatibility between their respective decentralized systems. This collaboration enables a smoother interaction among the various components of the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) infrastructure.
In the spirit of their partnership, they initiated a contest to create Curve’s Continuous Functional Market Maker (CFMM). The goal of this innovation is to enhance efficiency within the system by controlling price fluctuations (volatility) and reducing potential losses due to trading (market slippage).
