Caution: stETH On Aave V2 Faces Liquidation Risk Of About $78 Million At Price Of $1563

Key Points:

  • If the price of stETH drops to $1563 then 47,300 stETH will be at risk of being liquidated on Aave v2.
  • After the FOMC meeting and the Fed’s determination to raise interest rates between now and the end of the year, not just Bitcoin and Ether, the whole market fell.
Thought that keeping interest rates unchanged would bring a positive signal to the market, but that’s not the case. Bitcoin plummeted $25,000 at one point, while the top ten non- belowstablecoin cryptocurrencies plunged as the Fed warned of further rate rises this year. DeFi platforms, including Aave, are also facing fresh liquidation if stETH falls into a dangerous price zone.

Bitcoin has been hovering around $26,000 for the last week as the market digested the SEC’s legal action against crypto exchange giants Coinbase and Binance, as well as growing macroeconomic concern around interest rate signals from the United States Federal Reserve.

The significant reduction in price occurred just three hours after the Federal Reserve declared a stop in interest rate rises, capping off a fifteen-month program of rate increases to battle growing inflation.

Although the market nearly universally expected a rate freeze, the Federal Open Markets Committee statement hinted at future rate rises, which normally dampens investor enthusiasm for risk assets such as cryptocurrencies.

Ether fell over 4.8% to $1,646.8, posting an over 10% loss for the week. The decline in the price of ETH puts DeFi platforms like Aave or Lido at risk of liquidating stETH.

After 10 straight raises to combat inflation, the United States Federal Reserve maintained interest rates constant on Wednesday, at 5% to 5.25%. Nevertheless, Fed Chair Jerome Powell suggested it may take years to keep inflation under control, dampening expectations for cuts later this year and boosting the prospect of higher interest rates in the future. As a result, Bitcoin and the market are in the red.
