### Simple Summary

| | Current Borrow Cap | Recommended Borrow Cap |
| --- | --- | --- |
| xcUSDC | 400,000 | 560,000 |

Gauntlet will be utilizing the Cap Guardian to enact this change as voted by the community within this forum [post](https://forum.moonwell.fi/t/gauntlets-initial-recommendations-for-moonwell-on-base/536) and [proposal](https://gov.moonwell.fi/artemis/proposal/39).

## Supporting Data

### xcUSDC Circulating Supply

The circulating supply of xcUSDC has increased 3x since our last recommendation to 681k xcUSDC, and expect this growth to continue further. The Borrow Cap is intended to accomodate the future growth.

### xcUSDC Borrowing

Of the top 10 largest suppliers on xcUSDC, 4 have no debt on their collateral, and the rest are borrowing using both recursive and non-recursive strategies. Gauntlet will continue to monitor these positions.
