What is Morpho USDC / cbBTC (Ethereum)?

This is an isolated lending market on Morpho Blue deployed on Ethereum mainnet. USDC is the loan asset and cbBTC (Coinbase Wrapped Bitcoin) serves as collateral. This market offers Ethereum mainnet security with Morpho's isolated market design.

How Morpho Blue Isolated Markets Work

Morpho Blue creates permissionless, isolated lending markets:

  1. Each market has exactly one loan asset and one collateral asset
  2. Parameters (LLTV, oracle, interest model) are fixed at creation
  3. Suppliers deposit the loan asset (USDC) to earn yield
  4. Borrowers provide collateral (cbBTC) to borrow the loan asset
Market Isolation: Problems in this specific market (cbBTC depeg, oracle failure) do not affect other Morpho markets.

What Assets Are Involved

Supply Asset: USDC on Ethereum mainnet Collateral Asset: cbBTC (Coinbase Wrapped Bitcoin)

This market serves users who want to:

  • Earn USDC yield from Bitcoin-backed loans
  • Access Bitcoin collateral with Coinbase custody backing
  • Use Morpho's efficient isolated market design
