As we are writing, the MIP-5 vote is currently in progress. If MIP-5 is approved, Metalswap’s Hedging Contracts will be implemented on the Linea Mainnet.
Our Hedging Contracts system necessitates at least two pools to operate effectively: one for the asset, which in this instance is wstETH, and the other for a stablecoin, thus ideally USDC could be the stablecoin used in this scenario.
Research indicates that USDT and USDC are the most capitalized stablecoins in the DeFi sector, with capitalizations of $86 billion and $23 billion, respectively, accounting for more than 85% of the total stablecoin market dominance.
On the Linea Mainnet, USDC has the higher capitalization with $12 billion compared to USDT’s $3 billion.
Within the MetalSwap protocol, the following are in use:
218.6k USDT on the Ethereum Mainnet
55.6k USDC on the Optimism Mainnet
Opting for USDC on Linea could also help to balance the liquidity among stablecoins.
Note:
While USDC is native to the Ethereum blockchain, USDC tokens can be bridged on other L2 networks, such as Linea, and are represented as “USDC.e”
Linea Mainnet - USDC.e Contract address:
0x176211869ca2b568f2a7d4ee941e073a821ee1ff
Considering this information,
Do you believe USDC should be MetalSwap’s stablecoin for Linea?
