BlockBeats reports that on November 6th, Morpho co-founder Merlin Egalite issued a statement addressing the issue of "insufficient liquidity" in some liquidity pools. He explained, "When the market is under pressure, people tend to reduce risk, which often leads many lenders to attempt to withdraw all their funds at once. This causes capital utilization to rise and liquidity to decrease, and in extreme cases, there may be no available liquidity in the short term. This is not a system vulnerability but a natural response mechanism of the lending pools under stress. To restore balance, the interest rate model automatically increases borrowing rates.
Taking Morpho as an example, its target utilization rate is 90%, meaning that under normal circumstances, about 90% of the deposited funds are lent out. When utilization surges to 100%, the interest rate increases fourfold. In most cases, market interest rates typically recover within a few minutes."
