Rationale

The markets below have demonstrated low user demand over the past 30 days, with average supply cap utilization consistently staying below 10%. To reduce risk exposure to the protocol, we recommend lowering the supply caps for these markets by 50%. We note that cap reductions will not affect currently open positions.

Comet Asset Supply Cap Utilization (average over last 30 days)
Ethereum USDT weETH 0.91%
Ethereum USDT mETH 5.03%
Ethereum USDC weETH 7.73%
Ethereum USDC rsETH 1.96%
Ethereum USDS weETH 0%
Ethereum USDS tBTC 0.79%
