In-depth look
1. Launch of the fixed income layer (August 9, 2025)
Overview:
Treehouse launched the Decentralized Offered Rate (DOR) and tAssets such as tETH, aiming to unify digital currency returns in a manner similar to traditional interest rate benchmarks like LIBOR and SOFR. The protocol has successfully attracted over $500 million in Total Value Locked (TVL) and integrated with platforms like Aave, Compound, and Pendle.
What does this mean?
This development is positive for TREE, as institutional reliance on fixed income products on the network may increase demand for governance and staking participation. However, high annual yield rates (50-75%) in the pre-deposit vaults may decrease short-term incentives. (Binance)
2. Listing of TREE against the Korean Won on Bithumb (August 8, 2025)
Overview:
The South Korean platform Bithumb added the TREE/KRW trading pair, enhancing liquidity and accessibility for individual investors in Korea. TREE's price rose by 0.6% after the listing despite the overall market stagnation.
What does this mean?
Neutral to positive impact: The direct link to the Korean Won reduces barriers for Korean traders, but it may increase price volatility that typically accompanies new listings. Although the market capitalization ($66.4 million) remains low compared to the 24-hour trading volume ($348 million), indicating speculative activity. (CoinMarketCap)
3. Using TREE as collateral for Binance loans (August 1, 2025)
Overview:
Binance added TREE as collateral for VIP loans, allowing institutions to borrow against their holdings with flexible terms and leverage up to 75 times.
What does this mean?
This is positive in terms of liquidity but may negatively affect price stability. Increased institutional borrowing could enhance the use of TREE, but it may increase selling pressure if leveraged positions are liquidated. (Binance)
Summary
Treehouse is transitioning from a volatile launch phase to a growth phase driven by infrastructure, with significant integrations in DeFi and support from trading platforms. Despite rising technical adoption indicators like Total Value Locked and partnerships, the 60% decrease in TREE's price over 30 days reflects continued selling pressure.
Will Treehouse be able to balance yield incentives and a sustainable token model as the DOR system expands?
