- It's been a dog of a market this last week. Peg mostly trades at a premium through curve rebalancings, broader stablecoin capitulation, and max pain red candles. It feels like 2018 again.


- Over the past week or even in the past 24 hours, the DAI peg is still snapping back to par quickly and staying mostly above 1.


- DEX's lead the way, with most DAI trades settling back to Curve. Ninety-eight million in the past 24 hours.


- DAI supply continues to reduce in the face of a market downturn and a decent chunk of USDC PSM burns.


- Visualizing the PSM outflow helps to see the drop over time. Balance is now at 3.2 billion in USDC.


- Double-digit percentage changes over the week. With ETH-A leading vault reductions, 270 million less supply from 41 fewer vaults.


- Over the last week, ETH perps and futures evaporated a billion dollars in open interest: 7.4 to 6.5 billion.


- A net burn this week, 876 million DAI burned, and most of it over the weekend.

- Not all is lost for users, though; only 17 auctions settled on 1.5 million in debt.


- Don't fret, though; we're all in this sinking boat together, DeFi unique borrowers peaked a few days ago. Reset back to single digits in the past day.
- It will rise again; the market is brutal but nothing like a shared struggle to incentivize collective action.


- 77 high-risk Vaults through more price drops.
- At the time of writing on the cusp of two WBTC vaults hitting auction.


- 9% drop starts to creep into low-risk vaults.


- Low risk is the majority of the appetite. However, there is more debt in the medium and high-risk categories.


- For large vaults and organic demand, ETH-C is leading, with most of its vaults sitting at just over 200% collateralized.
