Highlights of the Month

Coinbase introduced crypto-backed Loans powered by Morpho

This marks the first time a large-scale consumer application serving millions of users has directly integrated DeFi infrastructure to power its core financial services.

The integration is built on Morpho Markets. Specifically, it taps into the cbBTC/USDC market on Morpho.

Here is the announcement from Coinbase, and how easy it is to get an onchain loan via the Coinbase App:

Crypto-backed loans are progressively rolling out to Coinbase users. Currently, the integration has facilitated $2.5M in USDC loans with close to $5M in cbBTC collateral.

Morpho Everywhere

The first batch of Morpho core contracts has been deployed on Polygon POS, World Chain, Ink, Arbitrum, Scroll, Fraxtal, and OP Mainnet.

These deployments are infrastructure-only, meaning they won’t initially be supported on the Morpho App or receive MORPHO rewards.

Independent contributors on these chains are encouraged to build on Morpho, following models similar to Moonwell on Base. Builders can operate under their own brands, pursue chain-specific grants, and apply for MORPHO grants to drive growth.

Introducing Bundler3

Morpho Labs introduced Bundler3 – an open-source contract that lets users batch any onchain actions in one click, with any wallet they may have (including EOAs).

Bundler3 is available as a public good.

Here is an introduction of Bundler3 and how it works:
