In June this year, the biggest risk for Curve - the massive borrowing position of founder Michael Egorov was completely liquidated, and the bearish pressure was completely released.
The market once viewed the liquidation as "founder cashing out," but a more reasonable interpretation is: Michael Egorov was forced to sell tokens at the bottom, with limited cashing out options. From a long-term benefit perspective, the team is highly tied to the value of CRV, and the optimal strategy in the future is to continue to BUIDL and increase the value of the tokens.
Another important signal is the turnover of chips. The trading volume of CRV on CEX has long been higher than that of other tokens with the same market cap, but the price has remained flat, indicating that the market has undergone sufficient chip handover. With the short-term selling pressure dissipating, CRV enters a new stage of supply-demand balance.
From the supply side, Curve has been online for 4 years, with an inflation rate reduced to 6.3%, of which 42.4% of CRV is locked up, resulting in an actual circulating inflation of only about 3%, gradually revealing the token's scarcity.
Moreover, the long-term value support of CRV lies in its ecological position. As the core infrastructure for stablecoin exchanges, Curve is witnessing new growth momentum against the backdrop of institutional entry. With funds like the BUIDL fund backing, expectations for DeFi revival are driving the market recovery, and CRV has the potential to break through previous highs in the future.
