Curve DAO, the popular DeFi protocol, has seen considerable volatility over the last couple of years that has tested the robustness of its token, the
CRV Coin. While the protocol has made efforts to strengthen its position as the ‘safest’ lending platform, a series of events including the liquidation of founder
Michael Egorov's holdings, the reduction of CRV emissions for increased sustainability, and volatile price movements have caused concerns. However, significant rebounds in price and strategic initiatives have also been the hallmark of CRV’s journey. The decision to reduce CRV emissions to boost sustainability was met with positive sentiment in the market, resulting in a 15% surge in the CRV token price. Despite a 50% crash to an all-time low, CRV showed signs of recovery, closing the week on a positive note. Founder, Michael Egorov’s commitment to repaying 93% of $10M bad debt stemming from liquidation showcased his resolve. A proposal for a 10% CRV burn during the liquidation crisis reflected active community engagement. The protocol’s decision to adopt crvUSD for fee distribution and exciting developments such as Google's reported collaboration showed promise. Yet, the founder's loans getting liquidated, leading to a 30% slide in CRV price, raised eyebrows. Then there are speculations around Curve founder's intentions with his $141M stash in CRV and the wider potential risks for DeFi. A massive hack drained $50M from Curve Finance, sinking the CRV token price by 12%. However, quick recovery of 73% of the hacked funds alleviated sentiment. DeFi breaches like this expose considerable risks, nevertheless, Curve DAO’s resilience and the continued commitment to its vision provide reassurance for future potential.
