DEFI users lose $ 200 million
The borrowers on the high fixed Defi loan protocol fell like flies, because the drop in prices of assets trigger mass liquidations.
Monday, more than 700 Aave V3 users, the most popular protocol body lost a million combined dollars – the largest loss of a day in more than five months. Borrowers on other loan protocols like Compound and Morpho also recorded losses in millions of dollars.
The rout of the crypto preceded a day of roller coaster on the markets while President Donald Trump threatened with prices on Sunday on the goods of Canada and Mexico, then postponed the samples for a month on Monday.
The war trade reduced Bitcoin by 4%, while Ether dropped by 17%. About 50% of assets liquidated on Aave were stretched or wrapped versions of ether.
Defider liquidations occur when a user borrows other cryptographic assets against volatile guarantees such as bitcoin or ether. If the user’s guarantee value decreases and is approaching the value of their borrowed crypto, loan protocols like AAV have automatically set up the warranty to ensure that the protocol does not accumulate bad debt.
The Aave borrowers were not the worst blow. Those who place betting on leverage on centralized crypto exchanges lost more than 2.3 billion dollars.

Aave will set up an additional $ 16 million for liquidation if the price of the ether falls to around $ 2,355 and the borrowers do not go up their guarantee, according to ONCHAIN data compiled by Defillama.
The liquidated amount is always lower than that of last August. Market tremors caused by the Bank of Japan increasing interest rates spread to the cryptography market, causing $ 239 million in liquidations on Aave.
Etherstrategy flops
Etherstrategy,, A DEFI project trying to copy Bitcoin Bull Microstrategy but with Ethereum, reimbursed the depositors after launching the word.
“There was not enough interest or request to justify the launch of the DAO in the current state,” said the co-founders of Ethersrategy in an article on X.
The project seemed to arouse significant interest before the launch, with some 5,000 people occurring to deposit around 40,000 ether, according to the co-founder Justin Bram.
But Ethersrategy was launched Thursday without having undergone a third-party audit, which may have dissuaded investors giving the history of crypto exploits. In addition, a website bug caused deposits initially to the bad address onchain.
Ethersrategy’s objective was to accumulate as much ether as possible. He planned to issue convertible tickets and sell his own Ethsr tokens to finance purchases, similar to Microstrategy.
Microstrategy was one of the hottest actions in the world since Donald Trump’s American electoral victory in November. The founder Michael Saylor is an evangelist of Bitcoin, and his company has repeatedly issued new actions and has taken new debts to finance the purchase of more bitcoin.
An error of $ 12 million
A portfolio associated with the founder of Silk Road, a freshly forgiven, Ross Ulbricht, lost $ 12 million in a memecoin trading error.
The error came by trying to use Ross – a token created by fans to celebrate his prison release on January 21 – to provide negotiation liquidity on Solana decentralized Exchange Raydium.
The Ulbicht portfolio accidentally used poor parameters, fixing the price of Ross much lower than the market rate.
Commercial robots immediately capitalized on the error, picking up $ 1.4 million in Ross and the Specling. The wallet then made the same mistake, letting robots pick up and selling additional $ 10.5 million token.
Ross market assessment plunged more than 90% to $ 641,000, compared to $ 40 million.
The incident brings a bizarre touch, if the portfolios associated with it are in fact controlled by him. That one of Bitcoin’s most wise figures is the victim of a technical error – after having built one of the largest Bitcoin markets – shows how many trading has changed during the last 10 years of his absence.
The Free Ross campaign did not respond to a request for comments.
