Decentralized lending-borrowing protocol
Morpho is a lending protocol that combines the liquidity pool model used by Compound or AAVE with the capital efficiency of peer-to-peer matching engines used in order books. Morpho-Compound improves Compound by providing the same user experience, liquidity, and liquidation parameters, but with an increased APY due to peer-to-peer matchings.
Odaily reports: 3F, a vault protocol built on the decentralized lending protocol Morpho, has completed a total of $4 million in funding. The round was led by Maven 11, with participation from F-Prime, GSR, Gate Ventures, and other institutions. The company did not disclose its specific valuation.Built on top of Morpho, 3F aims to provide users with leveraged exposure to RWAs through a "one-click" operation. Users simply select their target asset and desired leverage multiple, and the protocol automatically executes the entire position-building process: purchasing the underlying asset via short-term bridge financing, depositing it as collateral on Morpho, and borrowing stablecoins to repay the financing.Essentially, this mechanism simplifies the traditional "looping" process in DeFi, which involves repeatedly buying assets, depositing them as collateral, borrowing, and reinvesting. While this process can be executed efficiently via flash loans in purely crypto-native assets, it is typically more complex and less efficient in the RWA context due to issues like settlement delays.3F is expected to officially launch in the second quarter of this year.
According to on-chain analyst Yujin (@EmberCN), since the rsETH incident, funds have continuously flowed out of the Aave platform—approximately $15.1 billion in total over 3.5 days. Total deposits dropped from $48.5 billion pre-incident to $30.7 billion, representing a withdrawal of roughly one-third of funds; stablecoin outflows amounted to $4.5 billion. However, due to this capital outflow, the platform’s stablecoin deposit APY temporarily remained elevated at 13.4%. During the same period, Morpho saw outflows of approximately $1.5 billion, with total deposits declining from $11.7 billion to $10.2 billion. In contrast, Spark experienced逆势 fund inflows: its TVL rose from $1.9 billion to $3.2 billion—an increase of about $1.3 billion—partly driven by reallocation from whales such as Justin Sun and institutions withdrawing from Aave.

According to an official announcement, Coinbase has launched its crypto-backed lending service in the UK, enabling users to borrow USDC in under one minute using BTC, ETH, and cbETH as collateral. The service is powered by Morpho, an open-source lending protocol built on Base. Coinbase stated that this product first launched in the U.S. in January 2025. As of April 14, 2026, loans facilitated via Coinbase’s integration with Morpho have exceeded $2.17 billion in USDC. Users can monitor their loan health, historical annualized interest rates, and liquidation alerts directly within the Coinbase app. Interest rates are dynamically adjusted based on market conditions.
Odaily News: The Ethereum Community Hub, supported by the Ethereum Foundation, has announced it will be held in Hong Kong at 1:30 PM on April 21st. ETH HK HUB is Asia's first offline Ethereum community Hub, supported by the Ethereum Foundation and jointly operated by SNZ and ETHTAO, aiming to build a collaborative hub connecting Asia with the global Ethereum ecosystem. The event will cover areas including: ZK, privacy computing, AI × blockchain, stablecoins and payments, on-chain liquidity, and more.Participating institutions and projects include Sharplink, Brevis, Primus, HashKey Chain, Chainlink Labs, Lido Finance, Galaxy Digital, SignalPlus, Morpho, Animoca Brands, EVG, Zand Bank, Pay Protocol, and others. Guests include Vitalik Buterin, Aya Miyaguchi, and more.
According to Cointelegraph, Fireblocks, an enterprise-grade digital asset infrastructure platform, has launched a new feature called Earn, enabling institutional clients to allocate stablecoin balances into on-chain lending strategies supported by Aave and Morpho to improve the efficiency of idle capital utilization. The product’s initial integrations include the Morpho vaults curated by Sentora and the Aave stablecoin lending markets, and it is now available to Fireblocks customers via Early Access. Fireblocks notes that yields are generated by the underlying protocols and are variable—not guaranteed—and may be zero. Data shows that Aave and Morpho are currently the two largest decentralized lending protocols by total value locked (TVL).
, Morpho CEO Paul Frambot posted on X that over the past week, he has communicated with several large institutions to understand their views on the current DeFi landscape. The core conclusions are as follows.First, institutional interest will not disappear. The reason is simple: distribution channels will not disappear — massive amounts of assets under management (AUM), payments, and lending businesses are moving on-chain. Almost all fintech companies aim to be fully on-chain. For institutions, this is not a question of "whether," but a matter of "necessity."Second, they have lost trust in the pool/hub model. Institutions and distributors want to control everything, including control over code, control over risk, and control over compliance. At the same time, they also desire flexibility — the ability to isolate their own operations and connect to a global liquidity network that is compatible with them.

Morpho announced that, shortly after the recent incidents involving Kelp DAO and the LayerZero Bridge, the Morpho Association has proactively paused the OFT cross-chain bridge for the MORPHO token on Arbitrum. Morpho stated that the cross-chain functionality on Arbitrum will remain suspended until the root cause of the rsETH incident is identified.
