PANews reported on August 29 that according to the official blog, ABC Labs announced that it has made a strategic investment of US$2.2 million in the Curve ecosystem, acquired 6.46 million sdCRV (Stake DAO's liquid locked Curve DAO tokens), and locked 923,000 Stake DAO tokens (SDT) in a 4-year voting trust. This purchase gives the Reserve ecosystem the highest voting rights among all non-founding entities in Curve DAO.

The purchase is part of ABC Labs’ ongoing $20 million investment into the Curve ecosystem to secure governance rights and facilitate liquidity for RTokens. Currently, the RToken liquidity pool on Curve holds approximately $25 million in assets, primarily on the Ethereum mainnet. This additional investment is intended to further facilitate liquidity for RTokens on Curve, with an initial focus on Arbitrum. By investing in Arbitrum’s liquidity, Reserve expands its ability to guide incentives on both mainnet and L2 networks through collaborative investments in DeFi governance.
