Aave saw more than $5.4 billion in withdrawals after a KelpDAO hacker allegedly used illegally minted rsETH as collateral to borrow large amounts of ETH, according to BlockBeats. The latest update adds that Aave’s USDT borrow APY climbed to 14.99% while the USDT deposit APY reached 13.39%, indicating tighter liquidity and elevated borrowing demand in the protocol after the outflows. Earlier reported withdrawals by Sun Yuchen and the shift of lending activity toward Spark remain part of the broader market impact described in the topic.
