Pendle posts first TVL gain in a year as real-world assets take over
- —TVL rose 43% QoQ to $1.16 billion despite a roughly 58% cut in PENDLE incentives
- —RWA markets reached 82% of TVL; RWA-backed tokenized dollars hit $949 million
- —Buybacks reached 3.2 tokens per token emitted, up from 1.6 in Q2
- —About $1.06 billion, or 91% of TVL as of September 30, matures by December 17
Why it matters: The Q4 maturity of 91% of TVL is the key test; retention hinges on PTs staying useful as collateral on Morpho and Aave.
