The protocol this week notched new all-time highs in total value locked (TVL) and total borrows – two pivotal metrics of activity for a DeFi lender. Euler’s hundreds of millions of crypto-dollars now under management might leave it well short of the Ethereum world’s lending powerhouses, like the multibillion dollar Aave.

In his recent tweet, economist Henrik Zeberg mentioned the Bitcoin price decline, which occurred on Feb. 18 and constituted roughly 0.17%.
