The Mantle community has authorized the Mantle Treasury to provide a loan of up to 30,000 ETH to the Aave DAO through proposal MIP - 34, to address the bad debt impact caused by the rsETH cross-chain bridge security incident on Aave V3.According to the proposal, the loan term is up to 36 months, with an interest rate of LIDO + 1% annualized, and the borrower can repay early without penalty. In terms of risk control, Mantle will have priority security rights over the relevant collateral assets, and Aave will also provide additional collateral in the form of Aave tokens and protocol revenue worth no less than $11 million, and will delegate 130,000 Aave tokens to Mantle for governance participation.

The Curve team has published a proposal on the governance forum, addressing approximately $700,000 in bad debt generated by the CRV-long LlamaLend market, proposing a recovery mechanism based on the free market.This mechanism utilizes the option characteristics of the CRV-long treasury assets: when the price of CRV rises, the value of the treasury assets increases, and when the price falls, it does not further depreciate. The proposal suggests establishing a Curve stable pool with a low amplification coefficient (A=2) and a high redemption fee (1%), concentrating the liquidity of the treasury tokens around a repayment capability level of approximately 71%. Arbitrageurs can profit by purchasing treasury tokens through flash loans and conducting partial liquidations.Curve DAO has been invited to approve incentive measures for this pool, and the management fees collected will be retained in the treasury in the form of treasury tokens. If this mechanism is successful, it will serve as a reference solution for similar situations.

Well-known developer and Yuga Labs Vice President 0xQuit posted on X that the situation with Aave is dire and worsening, with multiple liquidity pools reaching 100% utilization, causing depositors to be "stuck," and the protocol facing further bad debt risks... If the price of ETH drops and Aave cannot effectively liquidate (which is indeed the case currently), it will ultimately lead to inefficient liquidations, resulting in more bad debt. If the problem cannot be resolved quickly, this situation may snowball.

Michael Egorov, the founder of Curve Finance, posted on the X platform expressing hope that Aave can address the relevant issues. He pointed out that non-isolated lending has good scalability but carries higher risks, with the key being risk management, an area where Aave has historically performed well.He stated that the market can adopt a fully isolated model like that of Curve Finance or a hybrid model, although the latter is very complex, it is feasible. However, the market has yet to understand its advantages. Michael Egorov also mentioned that Aave v4's hub and spoke model might be a step towards a semi-isolated and safer direction.

Due to the Kelp DAO attacker using stolen rsETH to collateralize and borrow ETH on Aave, Aave is suspected to have bad debts, with the specific amount currently unknown.Aave officials stated: "The rsETH market on Aave V3 and Aave V4 has been frozen. We are reviewing the rsETH borrowing information that occurred on Aave after the attack and will share more details as soon as possible. If the protocol has accumulated bad debts due to this incident, we will explore ways to compensate for the losses."OKX market shows that AAVE is currently at 105.15 USDT, down 9.56% in the last 24 hours.

Fluid stated on platform X that the team has secured a short-term loan sufficient to cover 100% of the bad debt currently in the agreement. These funds are committed by Lomashuk, cyberfund, weremeow, and the Fluid core team to ensure the safety of user funds.ResolvLabs has confirmed that it will cover all USR positions generated before the security incident occurred and will open the necessary redemptions to close related debt positions. Additionally, several investors have expressed interest in purchasing FLUID from the treasury when additional funds are needed to further strengthen the protocol's backup support. The Fluid smart contracts are operating normally, all other markets are functioning as usual, the protocol safeguards remain effective, and users may encounter temporary interest rate fluctuations during the liquidation period.

According to market news, South Korean courts plan to adopt new guidelines that will exclude debts incurred from stock or cryptocurrency investments from liquidation calculations, thereby reducing the total amount debtors need to repay creditors in personal restructuring procedures.The new regulations will be implemented this month in the courts of Daejeon, Daegu, and Gwangju. This is the latest measure by the South Korean government to address the debt issue. By 2025, the country's household debt-to-GDP ratio has risen to 92%, and the government has committed to controlling the growth rate of household debt at 3.8%. The Suwon and Busan courts have begun classifying some cryptocurrency and stock market investment losses as "general property" losses rather than "speculative debts." Seoul Bankruptcy Court Judge Lee Seok-jun called in 2024 for the government to establish more regulations to protect cryptocurrency investors. The Daegu Restructuring Court stated that it would penalize any debtors who "deliberately conceal" cryptocurrency purchases and "disguise them as failed investments."

A dedicated wallet has been prepared, containing assets such as 775.11 BTC and 5766.62 ETH, and is awaiting final approval from the relevant South Korean authorities.After completing the compensation, Binance plans to shift its focus to enhancing Gopax's technology and security standards, and is considering incorporating it into the Binance brand system at an appropriate time. In the long term, Binance will focus on areas such as stablecoins, real asset tokenization, and institutional services in the South Korean market, planning to collaborate with local institutions to launch a Korean won-pegged stablecoin and security token products. Although South Korean regulators have proposed limiting the shareholding ratio of major shareholders in exchanges to 15% to 20%, while Binance currently holds over 67% of Gopax's shares, Seker stated that they have sufficient experience to respond to this. He mentioned that South Korea is the pinnacle of digital assets in the Asia-Pacific region and is expected to become one of the top three digital asset centers globally. Binance will compete vigorously for market leadership in the next three to five years.

ChainCatcher message, Hyperliquid officials announced in the Discord channel that today the XPL market experienced significant volatility, with the marked price increasing by approximately 2.5 times within a few minutes. During this period, the Hyperliquid blockchain operated normally as designed, with no technical issues: first, liquidation was executed based on the order book, and then the automatic deleveraging (ADL) mechanism was initiated according to the public protocol.Hyperp adopts a fully isolated margin system, where all users' profits and losses are isolated from other asset positions. This liquidation and ADL only affected XPL positions, and the protocol did not incur any bad debts. The pre-listing market itself is inherently unpredictable. The robust marked price formula used by Hyperp effectively prevented instantaneous surges, requiring the order book price to remain high for several minutes before triggering liquidation.Hyperliquid is a permissionless multi-market protocol, with each market having unique risk characteristics. Users are strongly advised to understand the operational mechanisms of markets like hyperp by reading the documentation and to implement appropriate risk management before trading. All hyperp products include risk warnings, reminding users to be aware of low liquidity, high volatility, and increased liquidation risks.Finally, some users have expressed a desire to short using high collateral positions. After the next network upgrade, the hyperp marked price will be limited to within 10 times the 8-hour marked price EMA. Although this condition has never come close to being triggered, this move provides a mathematical boundary for the liquidation price of over-collateralized short positions.The 8-hour EMA has been published as the oracle price for hyperp on-chain and in the API. It should be noted that this upgrade will not change any liquidation or ADL results from today, but is intended to encourage liquidity provision during periods of volatility. Different suggestions put forth by users come with their own risk vectors, and the best solution is to introduce more liquidity to these markets to mitigate the impact of volatility.
