On-chain data tracked by DeBank shows 343,075 ETH ($547M) currently sits inside DeFi lending protocols at risk of liquidation if ETH extends lower.
Why it matters
The stack isn't evenly distributed — it concentrates at four specific price triggers. The first liquidation wall sits at $1,565.72 (46,741 ETH / $74.71M), followed by $1,555.04 (58,032 ETH / $92.85M), $1,426.31 (100,394 ETH / $159.43M), and a final dense cluster at $1,361.73 (137,908 ETH / $220.41M). A move into the upper band would cascade through roughly 105K ETH of debt positions in two prints; a deeper flush through $1,362 alone wipes the largest single cluster on the board.
Market impact
Cascading liquidations on this scale historically force-sell ETH into already-weak books, amplifying the move that triggered them. Traders watching the tape will read any test of the $1,560 zone as the trip-wire for the first leg, with $1,362 as the structural level where forced selling would meet the heaviest single block of supply.
Liquidation clusters also shape options skew and perp funding in real time — desks hedging the cascade typically lift downside protection through the $1,400 strikes in the days before any test.
