3bps net loss on $99.6B average lending TVL is great underwriting ammo, but April’s rsETH mess is the boundary case: bridge risk got laundered into Aave collateral and had WETH utilization pinned near 100% for 12.7 days. Blue-chip lending pools can price like credit only if fresh LRT collateral stops being treated as fungible with WETH/USDC; caps, isolation, and Morpho-style vault segmentation become the product, not the boring risk tab. Insurers will love the loss-ratio math, but lenders should price correlated exit-liquidity freezes, not just exploit notional.
