Launched on April 19, 2023, Pepe Coin quickly garnered attention due to its rapid increase in market cap , trading volume and social media presence.
The widespread adoption and the robust community behind it make Pepe an intriguing asset for Crypto enthusiasts, particularly those interested in meme tokens.

The overall unique appeal of Pepe, positions it as a strong candidate for listing as collateral on Paribus.
Embracing the potential of meme tokens allows Paribus to diversify its market offerings and provide users with markets that reflect the evolving trends in the crypto space.

Proposed Loan-to-Value (LTV) Ratios:

The proposal suggests implementing different LTV ratios for Pepe Coin collateral on Arbitrum and Ethereum, according to the liquidity and risk profile of each network.

On Arbitrum, where Pepe Coin’s liquidity pool is smaller, we recommend a conservative LTV ratio between 20% to 30%.This approach balances risk and ensures stability for both depositors and borrowers.

On the Ethereum network, where the liquidity pool for Pepe Coin is significantly larger, a higher LTV ratio of 50% to 60% is proposed, reflecting the reduced risk due to greater liquidity.

Loan-to-Value (LTV) Ratios summary:

  • On Arbitrum: Proposed LTV ratio of 20% to 30% due to smaller liquidity pools and associated risk.

  • On Ethereum: Proposed LTV ratio of 50% to 60%, supported by larger liquidity pools, offering a more secure borrowing environment.

Conclusion

Listing Pepe Coin as collateral on Paribus will embrace the unique opportunities presented by meme tokens offering exclusive market to the network & allowing users on to leverage Pepe’s established presence on Arbitrum.

It’s believed that this proposal can contribute to Paribus’ growth and strengthen its position as a leader in the borrowing & lending realm.

We invite the Paribus community to review this proposal and share their insights before moving to on-chain voting through governance.

Where are we at this point ? Feels like it was a long time ago that we were speaking about it. Why is there so much time between asking on forum and a rpoposal on governance ? Do you wait for major update ? Maybe better market conditions ?
