ETH Prices Drop to $1786, MakerDAO's Whale Positions Remain Secure

According to on-chain analyst Yujin, Maker's oracle price update at 7 o'clock indicates potential liquidation risks for a significant ETH whale, highlighting the importance of collateral management.

Summary

On-chain analyst Yujin reported that Maker's oracle price was updated to $1,784.6, below the liquidation price of $1,787.8 for a whale holding 648,000 ETH. This situation implies that without additional collateral or repayment before the price update, the whale's position may face partial liquidation.
