Summary
This proposal seeks to increase the daily borrow limits for the same FiRM LP markets recently targeted for market ceiling adjustments. The current daily borrow limit of 1,000,000 DOLA per market will be increased to 2,000,000 DOLA to address growing borrower demand and further support FiRM’s operational efficiency.

Background
FiRM LP markets have shown consistent growth in borrower participation and utilization rates, as highlighted in the Revised Risk Assessment of Stable LP Markets (December 2024). The recent increase in market ceilings to 50,000,000 DOLA has created a strong foundation to scale these markets further.
The current daily borrow limit of 1,000,000 DOLA per market now presents a bottleneck to borrower activity. Borrowers seeking larger amounts frequently encounter delays or limitations, reducing market efficiency and flexibility. Increasing the daily borrow limits to 2,000,000 DOLA aligns with borrower demand and eliminates operational friction, enabling sustained growth and improved capital utilization.
This proposal builds on the governance-approved update to the borrow controller, which introduced a rolling 24-hour limit. This update ensures equitable access to borrowing capacity while addressing risks of double borrowing and market monopolization.
Rationale
- Increased Borrower Demand: Borrowers in these markets continue to push against the current daily borrow limits, demonstrating sustained and growing interest. Raising the limits will ensure FiRM can meet this demand effectively.
- Improved User Experience and Operational Efficiency: Higher daily borrow limits reduce delays and enable borrowers to access larger loans without needing to split transactions across days.
- Alignment with Growth Strategy: Raising the daily borrow limits complements the recent increase in market ceilings, allowing FiRM to maximize utilization and strengthen its competitive position.
Risk Assessment
The Revised Risk Assessment of Stable LP Markets (December 2024) supports the proposed increase in daily borrow limits based on the following:
- Collateral and Liquidity Health: The underlying pools for these markets demonstrate sufficient liquidity to handle higher borrowing volumes without causing instability.
- Low Liquidation Risk: The stablecoin-paired nature of these LP markets ensures minimal price volatility, reducing the likelihood of liquidations.
- Risk Mitigation Measures:
- Borrow Controller Update: The recently implemented rolling 24-hour limit ensures controlled and equitable borrowing.
- Continuous Monitoring: The RWG will actively monitor liquidity, utilization rates, and collateral health to adjust parameters as needed.
