Protocol level

JLP Pool

The JLP pool held relatively steady in nominal terms this week. The quantity of USDT, WBTC, SOL in the pool remained about the same as seven days prior, while WETH and USDT deposits fell slightly.

The pool’s composition has deviated somewhat from target, with the pool becoming about 3% overweight SOL and 3% underweight USDC, but the deviation is not significant and appears to be shrinking over time.

JLP Market Comparison

JLP’s market price increased by 4.24% over the last week. In the same period, BTC increased by 7.51%, ETH increased by 11.29%, and SOL increased by 10.04%.

Given the JLP pool’s weights:

  • SOL - 46.4%
  • WBTC - 10.98%
  • WETH - 10.01%
  • USDC - 23.96%
  • USDT - 8.64%

JLP’s basket price increased by 6.61%, reflecting an impermanent loss of 2.37% for LPs due to the long-skewed imbalance of open interest.
