BNB has recently stabilized above the $900 level, and it looks like it's preparing for a breakout. Interestingly, as the leading lending protocol on the BNB ecosystem, the top lending product tokens on this chain seem to be lagging behind—still hovering in the bottom range.
This phenomenon is actually quite telling. Looking at the data makes it clear.
First, the total value locked in this lending protocol continues to grow, with borrow rates stable around 0.41%. It has become a liquidity hub in the network, with impressive user activity. From the interaction metrics, you can see the actual market demand is there.
Now for a horizontal comparison. Ethereum's leading lending protocol AAVE has a market cap that's tens of times larger compared to this project. This gap itself is worth pondering—is the valuation misaligned, or has the market simply not reacted yet?
Logically speaking, the value of lending protocols gets amplified during bull markets. The more active the market, the stronger the arbitrage demand, the more people borrowing to short-sell bottoms, the higher the protocol fee revenue, and these returns ultimately reflect in token value.
From another angle, the current buying opportunity might resemble AAVE's early position back in 2020. Major capital deployment often happens quietly. By the time consensus forms broadly, it's often too late.
Now there are essentially two choices: allocate a portion of your position now for the long term, or wait for the ecosystem to develop further before chasing the price up? Everyone should have their own answer to this trade-off.
