SKY Crypto's revenue didn't just grow.
Revenue grew 799% in a few days, while Transaction and Daily Active User counts also increased.
The rating was affirmed Oct. 1 with a stable outlook. USDC and Treasury-backed money-market funds totaled $4.92 billion, about half of USDS and DAI in circulation.
USDS supply rose 96.9% year over year, while Sky Agents deployed more than $5.5 billion through Sky Protocol into institutional strategies.
Sky Ecosystem's USDS growth highlights DeFi's increasing institutional integration, but reliance on major partners poses potential systemic risks. Sky Ecosystem boosts USDS supply above $10B after $237M increase.
SKY climbed to a multi-month high as rising trading activity helped the token break above two important price barriers.
Galaxy Digital put $100M of Sky Protocol's sUSDS on its balance sheet and bought SKY tokens. It's one of the first public companies to hold sUSDS.
Galaxy added $100 million in sUSDS to its treasury and approved the Sky savings token as institutional loan collateral.
The Sky protocol completed its first token burn, permanently eliminating 2.86 million units acquired on the open market using the ecosystem's own funds. The operation used 5% of the monthly Net Protocol Surplus allocated to buybacks and burns, one of the three capital allocation mechanisms defined in Stage 2 of the protocol.
Standard Chartered expects SKY to climb from a reference price of $0.065 to $0.325 by end-2028. The bank ties its fivefold projection to expanding USDS supply, agent borrowing, staking rewards, and token buybacks.
Standard Chartered Bank has initiated coverage of Sky, calling it "DeFi's federal bank," and expects SKY to rise $0.325 by 2028.
