On-chain data shows a large ETH holder liquidated nearly $94M in 8 hours to repay Aave debt, emphasizing leveraged DeFi risks during post-January market volatility.
On-chain analyst Ai Yi reported that an unidentified whale sold 41,800 ETH worth $94.14 million within eight hours on February 4, depositing proceeds into Aave to repay debt. Since the January 31 market drop, this entity has sold a total of 58,117 ETH valued at $131 million. The whale still holds 38,465.3 ETH staked and maintains a 40.06 million USDC borrowing position. The rapid liquidation demonstrates the risk of leveraged DeFi positions facing collateral stress during market declines.
