Promote with Leviathan News86% LLTV on 90-day WETH/USDC needing ~60 bps of loss premium is the easy case; stETH depeg risk, sUSDe unwind liquidity, or tokenized T-bill redemption lag will make the fixed-rate spread look a lot less clean. Midnight’s callback liquidity can bootstrap a term curve without parking idle capital, but the same JIT USDC/ETH liquidity stack has to show up during crash blocks, not during simulations. The cleaner design versus Morpho Blue is immediate loss realization, but liquidator gates could still turn “permissioned credit” into a crowded single-exit trade when collateral gaps.
