Prior to the new retail division’s debut, Maple Finance TVL more than doubles

  • June saw an all-time high for TVL and revenue for the DeFi protocol.

Maple Finance has experienced an acceleration in its total-value locked (TVL) growth with the debut of Syrup.fi, a service targeted at retailers.

Dune Analytics reports that during the second quarter, Maple’s TVL increased by 123% and hit a record-breaking $230 million. Furthermore, there was a 39% rise in the protocol’s quarterly revenue. Maple’s June success culminated on June 25 with the launch of Syrup.fi. In that same period, the rest of the DeFi market expanded by roughly 9%, according to DeFiLlama.

The increase in growth can be attributed to the need for institutional-grade products that leverage real world assets (RWAs) and high yield, as well as the expectation of a retail Maple Finance extension. With Maple users earning up to 23% on digital assets and Syrup users accruing Drips, which are similar to points, the current structure is likewise well-incentivized.

The Defiant was informed by co-founder Joe Flanagan that the reason for Maple’s expansion is because of our secured lending products, which offer yield from loans to the biggest institutions that are completely backed by digital assets.

People are starting to recognize that we are providing the best risk-adjusted yield available, he continued.

A decentralized finance (DeFi) market called Maple Finance links institutional lenders and borrowers with qualified investors. Users who have completed know-your-customer checks and satisfy the product’s regulatory requirements are the only ones who can access Maple.

The comeback of Maple occurs after its TVL was severely damaged by the $36 million in loan defaults that occurred during the FTX disaster.

Shop-Related Syrup.fi

Apart from its institutional offering, the group has introduced Syrup.fi, a retail-oriented division. With almost $13 million in TVL since its start on June 25, the team is progressively launching Syrup.fi.

Syrup provides unrestricted access to Maple’s yield, which is produced by lending money to institutions under collateral. Additionally, the offering will yield syrupUSDC, a composable LP token that can be used across DeFi.

Users of Maple’s multi-season early access period will be accruing Drips. Users that earn drips will be eligible to get a portion of Maple’s forthcoming Syrup token, which is anticipated to migrate in Q4 2024 along with their MPL token.

High-Producency Safe Pool

Maple’s recent success started with the introduction of its High Yield Secured pool, which boasted a 15% net APY aim, before Syrup.fi launched.

Liquid digital assets like BTC, USDC, and ETH are over-collateralized in the secured lending arms of the protocol. At the moment, $147 million of Maple’s $230 million TVL is comprised of secured pools.

The platform’s RWA pool, Maple Cash, is secured by short-term US Treasury notes. Maple Cash’s TVL is still behind its all-time high of $31 million from October 2023, despite having doubled since March to $20 million from $11 million.

Season one of Syrup will conclude on July 31. The MPL will undergo a token migration on September 30.
