343,075 ETH in DeFi remained at liquidation risk after $34.1 million hit
Lookonchain data showed 343,075 ETH was exposed across key Ethereum price levels, and 21,540 ETH was liquidated after Ether briefly fell below $1,550 on June 6 before rebounding.
The originating Lookonchain X post (status 2062916582234525976) explicitly states 343,075 ETH ($547M) in DeFi protocols at risk, with the same four price thresholds (46,741 / 58,032 / 100,394 / 137,908 ETH) cited by PANews and Odaily. The headline accurately reproduces Lookonchain's on-chain analysis. The underlying liquidation prices come from DeBank profile snapshots linked in the post. Minor caveat: this is an analyst-derived snapshot, not an official protocol disclosure, but the reporting of the analysis is accurate.
A total of 343,075 ETH held in DeFi protocols remained exposed to liquidation across several Ethereum price thresholds, according to Lookonchain data cited by PANews, after Ether briefly fell below $1,550 early on June 6.
