According to @cas_abbe, a once-popular ETH DeFi looping trade has ended (source: @cas_abbe). The strategy staked ETH on Lido to receive stETH, used stETH as collateral on Aave to borrow ETH, restaked the borrowed ETH, and repeated to amplify yield, functioning as effectively free money while borrowing was cheap (source: @cas_abbe).

According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa), an on-chain address has accumulated 5,002 ETH worth approximately $13.05 million over the past five days, with an average purchase cost of $2,580 per ETH. Two hours ago, the address added another 1,341 ETH valued at $3.52 million. All acquired ETH has been deposited into Aave as collateral to borrow a portion of USDT, indicating a strategic move to leverage ETH holdings while maintaining exposure. This significant ETH accumulation and subsequent use in DeFi lending protocols suggest increased confidence in Ethereum price stability and may trigger heightened trading activity around ETH and associated DeFi tokens.
