Philidor Labs published an independent collateral policy review for Compound V3 USDC on Ethereum, proposing a three-tier structure: Tier A assets including WETH, WBTC, cbBTC, and wstETH would be uncapped; Tier B assets including weETH, LINK, UNI, and COMP would face aggregate book-weight caps of 7%; Tier C assets including rsETH, deUSD, and sdeUSD would be delisted. The proposal follows approximately $65,000 in bad debt on the Comet in June and Gauntlet's cap reductions in April, with rsETH's Kelp protocol incident in April cited as a risk trigger.
For Armada's crypto-repo desk, Compound V3 cap policy serves as a live DeFi risk benchmark for collateral quality tiering. If weETH faces a reduced supply cap reflecting risk concerns, Armada should evaluate whether weETH or similar liquid restaking tokens appear in client-posted collateral and apply equivalent conservative haircuts. The Tier C delisting of rsETH and deUSD is a direct signal to exclude these assets from Armada's eligible collateral schedule pending further review.
