Aave has confirmed that WETH loan-to-value ratios have been fully restored to their pre-incident levels across all…
WETH borrowing is back at pre-incident levels across seven Aave V3 deployments — the second step in the rsETH recovery plan, with the swap-path work still open.
Jeff Yan's disclosure lands as ICE and CME have been lobbying to restrict the protocol, making compliant U.S. access the deciding variable for Hyperliquid's next leg of growth.
After $16.5B in cumulative DeFi exploits, the latest THORChain incident is forcing protocols toward the centralised-style controls they once resisted — Aave's rsETH bad debt is the canary.
Two weeks without a forced close ended Wednesday — the high-leverage ETH long is back inside the liquidation zone at $2,153, with cumulative losses now near $32M.
DeFi lending protocols have lost $7.7B to exploits since 2020, yet coverage sits at 0.14% of TVL — users keep chasing yield while the sector's own insurance stack shares the same vulnerabilities as…
The contracts worked exactly as written — the problem was operational. As shared bridge infrastructure concentrates, a single LayerZero-adjacent weakness can cascade across the protocols sitting on…
The position is a 10x leveraged short on 175,082 HYPE ($7.62M notional) — funded with a freshly bridged 8.8M USDC and still being added to, signaling conviction rather than a tactical scalp.

A dormant Ethereum pre-mine address holding 790 ETH — valued at roughly $1.78 million today — has been activated after…
An isolated lending pool aimed at institutions is the real differentiator — it routes risk away from Jupiter Lend's core liquidity so that a single large position can't drain the public book.
