Adapting to Market Conditions

Some of the proposed changes for the Sky ecosystem reflected market turbulence observed on February 3. The decline in ETH to $2,080 resulted in $313 million in DeFi sector liquidations, impacting Aave and Compound, but Sky and Spark Protocol had smaller losses.

USDS Supply Expansion

USDS is showing rapid expansion, adding 2.1 billion tokens in the past month. The stablecoin was used in test vaults on Solana and Base, increasing circulation by more than $100 million.

Sky continues to adapt to the current market situation, focusing on sustainable growth and the development of the DeFi sector.

Bitcoin Encounters Significant Resistance Levels Ahead.

Bitcoin is approaching significant resistance levels, with immediate resistance at 91,650 and key levels at 92,000 and 93,000. A close above 93,000 could lead to further increases, potentially testing the 95,000 resistance. However, if Bitcoin fails to rise above the 91,650 resistance zone, it may start another decline, with immediate support near 90,000 and major support at 89,500.
