About a third of @Morpho borrowers are directional leveraged traders.
How come there is no USDC/cbBTC (or WBTC) or USDC/WERH markets to short Bitcoin or Eth?
There's clear appetite for non-CEX onchain leverage. Such markets would be great sources of yield too

Looking at each market's loop-intensity and based on the markets' composition, I estimate that these three personas account for 1/3 each of all debt
Some nuances:
- even when carry trade loopers are only 30% of all debt, they account for >80% of the debt in half of the markets analyzed
- about half of the liquidity borrowers are Coinbase users
- Some leverage traders prefer Morpho vs perp venues; simpler borrowing cost vs funding could be the reason; tools like @Contango_xyz or @monarchlend have made it easier
