> **Visual Note:** The image, titled "Collateral Concentration," displays a comparison between today and 30 days ago, showing that Supplied wstETH grew from $2.4B to $3B, Borrowed USDS rose from $421M to $573M, and Total Supplied increased from $5.5B to $6.8B—illustrating how wstETH dominates SparkLend's collateral base and that stablecoin borrowing growth is concentrated on the same wstETH-backed positions.

> "wstETH accounts for over $3B of the +$6.8B supplied to SparkLend.

ETH-linked assets are about 62% of the total and wstETH is held almost entirely as collateral rather than lent out.

On SparkLend, the last 30 days of stablecoin borrow growth concentrated on the same collateral"

 $BOLD
 on Base is here, with a twist

For now, you can borrow with ETH, wstETH, rETH, cbETH and cbBTC

The twist? LP as collateral, non-redeemable, to loop your earnings on Aerodrome LPs: soon once AERO v3 launches"

Ive been around crypto for some time now about 5 years. And have always considered getting into the actual uses on DeFi. So ive held steth now for a while and some btc that I’m looking to make work for me on DeFi. I’m trying to take a loan out against my steth but I can’t really find any safe places to do so. I’ve looked at aave and morpho but I can only find wrapped Steth as collateral. If I was to go this route and use WSTETH, how would I convert my steth to wrapped? And would this be the ideal way to take a loan out? Also with Bitcoin, what way would be best to do this? Simply send btc to an exchange and take a loan out through coinbase or another?"
