    In the left charts we see a strong correlation between WBTC $ funding and USDC rates both stable and variable.

    In the wbtc supply we see an increase around March and a big decline in mid-June both in usd value and token value.

    We can also see a correlation between the price of WBTC and the amount of tokens supplied.

    In the above charts we see that supply rates are generally higher for non stablecoins and especially CRV probably because of liquidity shortage.

    There is a similar pattern on borrow rates and we see that for non stablecoins variable rates are generally higher than stablecoins and for stable rates also rates are higher on non stablecoins.
