Protocol Level

JLP pool

The JLP pool held relatively steady in nominal terms this week. BTC, SOL, and ETH deposits all rose by 5-10%, while USDC and USDT deposits fell by a similar amount.

The pool’s composition also hemmed close to target, with utilization rates remaining steady.

JLP Market Comparison

JLP price decreased by 1.37% over the last week. In the same period, BTC decreased by 4.34%, ETH decreased by 5.19%, and SOL increased by 0.99%.

Given the JLP pool’s weights:

  • SOL - 45.08%
  • WBTC - 10.66%
  • WETH - 9.65%
  • USDC - 25.67%
  • USDT - 8.94%

JLP’s basket price decreased by 0.52%, reflecting an impermanent loss of 0.85% for LPs due to the long-skewed imbalance of open interest.

Volume

Traders’ cumulative unrealized PnLs, on the other hand, increased by $2.8M on September 8th relative to September 1st, though they remain more than $10M in the red on a further uPnL lookback.

Fees
