Spark(@sparkfinance):SparkLend’s ETH borrow market is currently operating below broader market borrowing rates. Current conditions: • ETH borrow rate: ~1.84% • $743M borrowed • 70% utilization • 90% kink utilization This is a function of how the market is parameterized. The variable borrow rate at the kink tracks the 2-day average stETH yield minus 10bps, aligning borrowing conditions more closely with ETH staking dynamics. As long as utilization remains below the kink, the market avoids the aggressive rate escalation seen in high-utilization environments. The goal isn’t temporary rate competition. It’s scalable ETH-denominated credit infrastructure with more predictable liquidity conditions. Borrow here -
