🌎 CRV Token Sees 500% Growth Amid Savings crvUSD Launch

Curve DAO Token Sees Significant Growth Amid Launch of Savings crvUSD

The Curve DAO token (CRV) has experienced substantial growth since the start of December, emerging as one of the top gainers over the past month. According to recent data, CRV rallied 500% in 30 days, reaching $1.33 with a market capitalization of $1.6 billion on December 7 – the highest level since February 2023.

However, the asset faced a 7% correction in the past 24 hours due to overbought conditions and is currently trading at $1.1. Despite this correction, CRV’s daily trading volume increased by 20% to $635 million, suggesting increased interest from investors.

Launch of Savings crvUSD Drives Growth

The surge in CRV’s price can be attributed to the launch of Savings crvUSD (scrvUSD), a yield-bearing stablecoin that allows users to earn rewards simply by holding the token. This decision was made by the Curve Finance decentralized autonomous organization in early November.

Curve Finance is a decentralized exchange and automated market maker for trading Ethereum-based stablecoins and altcoins. The main purpose of scrvUSD is to “scale crvUSD” and compete with other stablecoins in the market.

Revenue Generation and Market Impact

scrvUSD allows users to generate revenue through Curve Finance’s lending and staking strategies, currently offering a 13% annual percentage rate. The stablecoin has already reached a $20 million market capitalization.

Although scrvUSD aims to stabilize crvUSD interest rates, they remained volatile due to high leverage demand. To address this, Curve DAO increased scrvUSD holders’ revenue share from 10% to 20% and adjusted the crvUSD yield mechanism, successfully lowering borrowing rates to 20% and boosting scrvUSD deposits.

“Higher interest rates offer larger revenue for Curve per operation, but they limit new borrows. To address this, Curve DAO increased scrvUSD holders’ revenue share from 10% to 20%, and adjusted the crvUSD yield mechanism, successfully lowering borrowing rates to 20%, and boosting scrvUSD deposits.”

Long-Term Surge Expected, but Correction Likely

The launch of scrvUSD brought increased demand for the CRV token, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) putting the token in the overbought zone. According to analysts, the RSI is in the overbought zone on the weekly chart, suggesting a pause is likely before further upward movement.

Analysts expect a long-term surge for the CRV price due to its growing ecosystem. However, the asset would likely face a “notable” correction before recording another rally.
