company
Crypto risk management firm that designs and curates economic parameters—collateral factors, liquidation thresholds—for DeFi lending protocols and vaults.
Curators managing vaults on Morpho, a lending protocol with more than $3 billion in deposits, rely on offchain fees and subsidies, Crypto Briefing reports. A 10% cut of a 5% yield leaves the curator of a $100 million vault about $500,000 a year to run a risk team.
Reality
Custom Pairs makes a tokenized equity the settlement side of a meme trade, which is real distribution attached to a very small destination, since one day of that volume ran about 34 times the deposits in Morpho's SPYx vault.
Reality
vaults.fyi puts curated DeFi at $11.29 billion with five teams on 69.3% and Morpho carrying 46.2%. DefiLlama counts a different $7.18 billion and finds the same concentration.
Reality
The $1 billion mark is the least informative number in this round. SBI's own statement points at warrants, equity-method consolidation and a remittance business that needs cheaper settlement.
