    How much of the total StableCoin supply on Algorand is being lent or borrowed?

    We use the algorand.application_call_transaction table to find lent or borrowed stablecoins on Algorand. and use try_base64_decode_string(application.tx_message:txn:note::string) to now if a stablecoin is being lent or borrowed.

    • if try_base64_decode_string(application.tx_message:txn:note::string) = 'Market: b' then token is borrowed
    • if try_base64_decode_string(application.tx_message:txn:note::string) = 'Market: mt' token is lent

    note: we could not find any data related to lent o borrowed stablecoins on tinyman or pactfi, we only get data from algofi and in algofi only USDC is borrowed or lent

    Conclusion

    The volume of transactions on Algornad for the USDC has always been higher than the USDT, and the USDC has always been more popular than the USDT stablecoin. But last month (May) when the UST depeg happened, the volume of transactions for the USDT decreased significantly and the volume of transactions for the USDC increased significantly. At the same time, negative news broke about Tether's mortgaged assets, prompting many people to trade their USDTs for the USDC.
