According to Aave risk documentation, borrowing against volatile collateral like ETH carries liquidation risk if ETH price declines and the health factor drops below 1, which traders can monitor via protocol data, source: Aave risk documentation.

According to @OnchainLens on X citing Nansen data, a whale withdrew 17,779 AAVE (about $3.3M) from Kraken and supplied the tokens to Aave V3 (source: @OnchainLens on X; data: Nansen). The same source reports the entity has accumulated a total of 310,617 AAVE (about $59.34M) across addresses 0xe9d05440ed65d6bf7ccf44d0f1a747b11f31259b and 0x372cAE7fA19b81A9786A9081704EA1e2DAD576b7 (source: @OnchainLens on X; data: Nansen).

According to @OnchainLens, within the last 3 hours a Bitcoin OG whale supplied 180,438 ETH to Aave V3 and borrowed $220 million in USDT, with the borrowed USDT subsequently deposited to Binance (source: Onchain Lens citing Arkham Intelligence and Etherscan).
