This surge in locked CRV has had a profound impact on the veCRV/CVX ratio, which has climbed from 6.44 to 8. As CRV continues to enter a phase of price discovery, the implications for bribing power and CVX valuation are significant, especially with CVX nearing full dilution.
UPDATE: due to the crazy amount of $CRV locked into @ConvexFinance over the past month, veCRV/CVX ratio has gone from 6.44 to 8 🔒📊📈
Once CRV goes into price discovery, the implication for bribes, CVX valuation can't be overstated as $CVX is close to being fully diluted now. https://t.co/otmtLr8iG5 pic.twitter.com/RHgnVEBFyp

The massive influx of CRV into Convex Finance not only highlights the growing influence of Convex within the DeFi space but also underscores the potential for future shifts in the CRV and CVX market dynamics. With Convex’s stronghold on CRV supply and the nearing full dilution of CVX, the DeFi landscape could be poised for considerable changes in the coming months.
