Figure Lending LLC, a cryptocurrency lending institution, offers cryptocurrency-backed loans where borrowers can use Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana as collateral to obtain cash up to 75% of the collateral's value while retaining ownership of the tokens. Borrowing typically does not constitute a sale and generally does not trigger a capital gains event.Figure Lending LLC states that borrowers should compare the maximum loan-to-value ratio, fixed or variable interest rates, regulatory licensing, and liquidation terms. The institution offers fixed rates with a loan term of 12 months, a maximum annual percentage rate of 12.62%, and supports same-day funding without requiring a credit score, with approval based on the collateral. Figure provides an optional liquidation protection feature available in some states, which can delay liquidation during the loan term due to price declines; however, liquidation may still occur if the loan is overdue. This feature does not apply to situations of non-payment, default, or violation of loan terms, and a decline in cryptocurrency asset prices may still trigger margin calls.

According to Blockaid monitoring, the trading price of MetronomeDAO's Synth USD (msUSD) on Ethereum, Base, and Optimism once dropped about 11% below the pegged value. Subsequently, MetronomeDAO released a post-mortem report stating that its synthetic asset swap module had insufficient collateral issues, resulting in a lack of adequate asset backing for approximately 6,367 msETH and 4.57 million msUSD, with the impact primarily concentrated on that module.The report pointed out that the problem stemmed from delays in the Chainlink price oracle during swap execution, and Metronome's fee design failed to adequately account for this variable, particularly on the Base chain where the situation was more severe. The team has deployed over $34 million in defensive positions and about $6.5 million in "last exit" liquidity, which could be used to repurchase and destroy sufficient assets to eliminate the gap if the peg deviates by about 30%. The team has increased the transaction fees for all synthetic trading pairs and upgraded the protocol to support a directionally isolated fee mechanism. Priority will be given to ensuring the treasury repurchases and destroys synthetic assets to restore 100% adequate collateral, while not affecting the rights of MET token holders, and the MET repurchase and distribution plan will proceed as usual.
