Morpho (MORPHO)

🔴 We're welcoming @dennisbree, Head of Institutional Growth at @Morpho, as a speaker at our private event in NYC, on June 22nd. Morpho has become one of the core infrastructure layers of institutional onchain finance. Holding $10B + in TVL, and recently raising $175M . Its design gives institutions something most DeFi protocols don't: control over their own risk parameters, without shared exposure to other participants. Dennis joined Morpho to lead its institutional growth, after four years building the GTM function at Figment. He'll join @MorganStanley, @tradeon21x, and @FireblocksHQ on the panel "New Rails, New Power: Who Controls Onchain Finance?" When lending, collateral and credit infrastructure are built onchain, the question of who sets the terms becomes a structural one.

In the upcoming process, sector‑wise Lending: $Morpho, $aave, $syrup Stablecoin: $Pendle RWA: $Ondo, $cfg, syrup, $zbcn Above BTC: $STX and projects using its network Dex: $Uni, $Cake, $hype, $aero $GMX L2: $Arb What I wrote are already proven projects; mentioning them does not mean I think they are great and I’m adding them to my basket. Many of these projects I already hold, but while researching, small projects that possess the “well‑executed aspects” factor of these altcoin projects can make a difference. For example, MORPHO stood out with its cross‑lending and flexible pools; when looking at more gem‑type lending DeFi altcoins, you need to see who further improves it. There was AAVE before; Morpho improved it a bit and moved it to the Base network, and for months now this altcoin has delivered more than 2× returns. Another example: I have ZBCN which has been giving good returns for a while; the team took micro‑features from all RWA projects, amplified them, and turned them into a protocol. Payments, transfers, collateral...

$MORPHO has shown tremendous growth this year, climbing to $7B in TVL. But what's interesting is that $AAVE and $SYRUP are quietly leading the segment across several metrics. Let's compare $AAVE vs $MORPHO vs $SYRUP on everything that counts, leading and lagging indicators.👇 ➨ LEADING INDICATORS (what moves before the price does) 1⃣Utilization Rate (how hard each deposit base actually works) SYRUP: 46.7% AAVE: 44.2% MORPHO: 34.5% Maple runs the tightest book in the category. Nearly half its deposits are actively lent out. Morpho's lower number is structural, its curator-driven markets don't deploy all liquidity at once. 2⃣Net Deposit Flows (30d) SYRUP: +0.8% MORPHO: −6.5% AAVE: −7.7% Maple is the only one of the three taking in capital right now. Aave and Morpho are contracting in near-lockstep, which reads as market-wide deleveraging, not a problem with either protocol. 3⃣ Revenue Mix (who actually gets the fees) AAVE: 87% to LPs, 13% to protocol SYRUP: 88% to LPs, 12% to protocol MORPHO: 100% to

$MORPHO : Review 📜 What if a 20-year-old French engineering student built a lending protocol so good that Coinbase, Kraken, Gemini, Société Générale, and Apollo all chose it over Aave, and 5 years later he raised $175 million from Paradigm and a16z in the largest DeFi fundraise in history? Meet Morpho - a modular, open credit network that reimagined how DeFi lending works. $13 billion in deposits. $4.5 billion in active loans. 1.4 million+ users. 320+ vaults. Coinbase routes its USDC lending through Morpho. Société Générale Forge uses it. Apollo, the $700 billion private equity giant, just invested. Paul Frambot started this in a Paris dorm room at age 20. He's now 25, valued at $2 billion, and telling Wall Street to "wear shorts." Two days ago, Paradigm, a16z crypto, and Ribbit Capital co-led a $175 million round. The largest raise DeFi has ever seen. Let's explore how four French students built the credit infrastructure that institutions actually chose. 👇 ⚪ Morpho at a Glance Morpho is the modular len

Some personal news: I’ve joined @Morpho to lead our developer platform! My focus will be on making it radically easier for developers and companies to build on and integrate with Morpho: the tooling, APIs, and infrastructure that let any human or agent plug into the network. Nearly every leap in prosperity, from early trade to modern markets, was underwritten by someone willing to extend credit. While credit isn’t new, the opportunity to make its infra open, programmable, and shared, is. When liquidity is interoperable instead of siloed, every participant’s capital becomes leverage for the whole network. That's what Morpho is building: the open credit network for the world. If you want to build with Morpho, I'd love to chat 🦋

Morpho just raised $175M — the largest round in DeFi history — and it was done via the $MORPHO token. Co-founder @MerlinEgalite will join us to get into the raise, institutions piling in, curator risks, and what's next for DeFi. Live today, 11am ET 👇 https://t.co/beN0qB6JJj
