Loan Stress on Morpho Reveals Risks for cbXRP but Not Native XRP
Loan stress reported for cbXRP
A recent snapshot on November 6 indicated that a 10% decline in the price of collateral could lead to liquidation risks for cbXRP, which is Coinbase's token backed 1:1 by native XRP. This snapshot showed around 8.84 million USDC of debt across 1,070 borrowing positions.
Key numbers
- A 10% drop in collateral value could expose 8.84 million USDC in debt.
- A 5% drop would additionally expose 3.23 million USDC across 462 positions.
- The total market carried about 59.2 million USDC in debt as of the snapshot.
Market conditions impacting cbXRP
The lending positions that rely on cbXRP as collateral face pressures if market conditions worsen. This situation forces borrowers to either repay their debt or provide more collateral to avoid liquidation.
Current market statistics
At the time of the snapshot, 119.9 million cbXRP were used as collateral against the recorded debt. The total debt at risk represented about 15% of market borrowing.
What is confirmed
The snapshot data is clear regarding potential liquidation risks based on price declines. It is confirmed that the exposure is significant for borrowers using cbXRP and there is a functioning risk management system in place.
What is still unclear
While the exposure to liquidation is documented, the actual numbers of liquidations or ongoing sales of native XRP remain unconfirmed, as these would require separate transaction evidence.
