Spark approves removing USDC, USDT, and PYUSD reserve caps
The Ledger · · Ketju Research
Affects: Sky (protocol) · SparkLend (protocol)
What happened
Spark governance approved removing supply-cap and borrow-cap automation and setting the USDC, USDT, and PYUSD supply and borrow caps to zero on Ethereum SparkLend.
What changed
The approved configuration would remove explicit reserve-level exposure ceilings for the three stablecoins once implemented.
What did not change
On-chain execution was not established by the retained record. The three assets remained non-collateral under the proposal, and approval did not reopen Ketju's rejected SparkLend memo.
Confirmed
- The official Spark vote concluded with the For option prevailing.
- USDC, USDT, and PYUSD were the only reserves covered.
- The approved specification sets each reserve's supply cap and borrow cap to zero, meaning no cap.
- The proposal states that the assets are not usable as collateral.
Still open
- The implementation transaction and effective on-chain parameters.
- Post-implementation utilization, concentration, available liquidity, and any replacement exposure controls.
What it means for an advisor
- Review the Sky dependency map because uncapped SparkLend reserves can change balance-sheet concentration and liquidity behavior.
- Keep SparkLend allocation at zero unless its asset-specific reopen criteria are independently satisfied, including live exit and utilization tests.
