TVL stability (CoV over 90d)
Circle USYC's assessment for RD-F-084 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Data cache TVL CoV (90-day window 2026-02-16 to 2026-05-15): CoV = 0.183, mean = $2.47B, std = $452.8M. Threshold: green < 0.15; yellow 0.15-0.35; red > 0.35. CoV 0.183 falls in yellow band. Elevated CoV is driven by strong upward TVL growth from BSC deployment ramp (near $0 to $2.86B since Nov 2025), not operational instability or distress.

Methodology #
Compute the coefficient of variation (σ/μ) of daily TVL over the trailing 90 days as a proxy for operational stability.
