Fact Check
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.
