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
