Treehouse and Euler Launch First On-Chain Benchmark Interest Rate TESR Fixed-Rate Lending Market
On June 4th, Treehouse announced that its on-chain reference rate TESR (Treehouse Ethereum Staking Rate) has been integrated with Euler to launch DeFi’s first fixed-rate borrowing market anchored to a benchmark reference rate.
Users can borrow WETH by posting tETH or wstETH as collateral. The borrowing interest rate is locked in at the start of each monthly cycle, set based on TESR’s 30-day consensus rate, and remains fixed for the entire period—this eliminates the uncertainty caused by volatile borrowing rate swings.
The initial live markets for this service include tETH/WETH and wstETH/WETH. Oversight of the market is handled by KPK, a specialized DeFi treasury management firm, which takes charge of professional management and risk control to deliver institutional-grade security and liquidity.

「Top 1 on the Network Liquidation Leaderboard」 Flipped by Short Sellers, BTC's Biggest Bear Whale Liquidated for $29.3 Million
June 4: According to Hyperinsight Monitor, today’s largest network-wide liquidation traces back to two whales: one previously liquidated on a BTC long position, another that was liquidated on a ZEC long. These events sparked a sharp market downturn, hitting long orders hard first. By noon, BTC’s rebound triggered liquidations for a major address that tried to “catch the falling knife” during the dip. After this whale got heavily liquidated, the market pulled back slightly again.
4 hours ago, Hyperliquid’s “BTC Largest Short” suffered two consecutive liquidations during the BTC rebound — total liquidations hit 454 BTC, worth roughly $29.3 million, setting a new single-network largest liquidation record today. Margin losses also caused a partial liquidation of the whale’s HYPE long position.
