      Morpho Launches Fixed-Rate Midnight Markets on Ethereum

      Morpho has officially launched its Midnight fixed-term, fixed-rate lending protocol on the Ethereum blockchain as of September 8, 2026. This expansion allows Ethereum users to access USDC loans that are backed by either WBTC (Wrapped Bitcoin) or cbBTC (collateralized Bitcoin). The introduction of this protocol aims to provide users with predictable borrowing terms, enhancing the lending experience on Ethereum.

      Despite the launch, Morpho's largest potential source of capital remains inaccessible. The Morpho Vaults, which currently hold approximately $5 billion in deposits, are limited to allocating funds only to Morpho Blue markets until a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) transaction enables Midnight allocations. As of the launch, the Ethereum-filtered Markets page showed $7.41 million in total deposits and $2.63 million in outstanding loans, although these figures could not be broken down by market type due to the display limitations.

      The Midnight protocol differs from Morpho Blue by offering rate certainty. While Morpho Blue utilizes open-ended loans with fluctuating rates, Midnight allows borrowers to establish financing costs in advance and lenders to secure fixed returns. Morpho co-founder Merlin Egalite indicated that the initial rollout will focus on USDC | cbBTC and USDC | WBTC markets, with plans for gradual expansion.

      Morpho co-founder and CEO Paul Frambot noted that enabling vault allocations would require a single DAO transaction. However, he emphasized the importance of allowing curators and users to familiarize themselves with the Midnight protocol before opening it to significant capital from the vaults. The activation of vaults is anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2026, but until then, Midnight's Ethereum markets will need to attract capital through direct offers.
