Ep. 3: Money Markets vs. CDPs (Video Podcast)

Join Alpha Growth CEO Bryan Colligan and DeFi Strategist Eric Waisanen for Ep. 3: Money Markets vs. CDPs of Alpha Growth's newest podcast: "Dose of Alpha." Get real-time intel from the DeFi front lines. Colligan and Waisanen share unfiltered perspectives exploring decentralized finance, market maneuvers, TradFi convergence, and the enduring importance of crypto in today’s political and economic landscape. Dive deep into DeFi lending with a no-BS breakdown of Money Markets vs. CDPs (Collateralized Debt Positions) – which is better, when to use each, and why CDPs might be underrated infrastructure for protocols and long-term holders. In this Episode, Bryan and Eric unpack: The evolution from early Tether/Bitfinex synthetics to MakerDAO (now Sky/USDS) and modern CDPs like Liquity's BOLD Why money markets (Aave, Morpho, Compound) are straightforward, efficient, and ideal for high-frequency trading CDP strengths: No counterparty needed, potentially lower long-term borrow rates, superior peg stability in extreme volatility (e.g., the October 10, 2025 flash crash – triggered by tariff news – wiped out $19B+ in liquidations but showed CDPs holding strong while centralized systems cracked) Risks exposed: Peg maintenance & redemptions, bad debt in generalized vs isolated markets, liquidation cascades, oracle reliability Carry trades & structured products using CDPs for real yield on BTC/ETH/staked assets – borrow cheap, earn more elsewhere Who wins: High-frequency users → money markets; long-term holders, carry traders, and protocols building liquidity → CDPs Whether you're leveraging, farming yield, issuing tokens, or deepening your understanding of DeFi's core primitives, this episode delivers packed alpha straight from the trenches.
