In relation to the Curve 4pool, $UST, and $FRAX (3 minute read)
Terra and Frax Finance recently announced the Curve 4pool, which consists of UST, FRAX, USDC, and USDT. This will have significant effects on the overall stablecoin economy. It will significantly increase UST and FRAX demand and liquidity. Many DAOs are moving or are considering moving incentives to the 4pool. DAI will lose demand and liquidity as incentives move away from the 3pool, the current largest pool consisting of USDT, USDC, and DAI, to the 4pool for higher yields. The 4pool will likely become the deepest liquidity pool for all stableswaps.
