According to Ai 姨, Ethereum briefly surpassed $1800, driven by whale activity including a significant acquisition by whale 0xD20...62953. This whale withdrew 4990.8 ETH, valued at $8.83 million, at an average price of $1770 from Binance. The transaction was likely funded by USDT previously withdrawn from Compound, indicating strategic accumulation for potential trading gains.

According to Lookonchain, a newly created wallet executed a significant transaction involving the withdrawal of 3,000 ETH (equivalent to $4.92 million) from Kraken. This ETH was then strategically deposited into decentralized finance platforms Aave and Compound. Following this, the wallet borrowed 3 million USDC, which was subsequently redeposited into Kraken, indicating a potential strategy to acquire more ETH. This move highlights the wallet's sophisticated trading approach, leveraging DeFi protocols for liquidity management and possibly influencing ETH market dynamics.

According to Coinbase International Exchange, they will support Compound, UXLINK, and Aethir perpetual futures on Coinbase International Exchange and Coinbase Advanced. Trading for COMP-PERP, UXLINK-PERP, and ATH-PERP markets will commence on or after 9:30 am UTC, April 17, 2025, allowing traders to engage in futures contracts for these assets, potentially increasing market liquidity and trading opportunities.

According to Lookonchain, a wallet potentially associated with Jesse Powell, Co-Founder & Chairman of Kraken, withdrew 1,501 ETH valued at $2.46 million from Kraken. The funds were subsequently deposited into decentralized finance platforms Aave and Compound. This movement suggests a strategic shift towards utilizing DeFi for potential yield generation or liquidity provision, as cited from intel.arkm.com.

According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa), Compound founder Robert Leshner is reportedly selling 50,000 $COMP tokens worth $3.19 million through Galaxy Digital. These tokens were transferred to Galaxy three weeks ago, initially valued at $2.03 million, possibly for sale. The tokens have now been moved to Binance amid positive news of $COMP listing on Upbit.

According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa), Debank's health factor is a risk assessment metric for lending positions, originally pioneered by MakerDAO but now also employed by other lending platforms. The calculation method of Debank's health factor resembles that of Compound, differing from MakerDAO's approach which uses the formula of collateral value divided by debt. Understanding these differences is crucial for traders to evaluate risk levels in lending protocols accurately.

According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa), Abraxas Capital Mgmt's associated address 0xEd0...a4312 deposited a total of 24,810 ETH, valued at $66.04 million, to exchanges in the past 24 hours with an average deposit price of $2,661. The address holds 110,224 ETH across Lido, ether.fi, Aave, and Compound, with a total value of approximately $295 million.

According to Santiment, massive liquidations occurred in the DeFi sector as Bitcoin fell below $92K early Monday. Aave and Compound experienced record sell-offs of WBTC, with Aave V3 clearing over $23.7M in liquidations, marking an all-time high. These events significantly contributed to Bitcoin's subsequent price bounce.

According to @intotheblock, liquidation risk is a critical factor to consider in DeFi lending protocols, as highlighted in the DeFi Risk Radar.

The health rate of their borrowing positions is currently at a critical low.

According to Lookonchain, the recent drop in the price of ETH has caused a significant risk for an investor on the Compound platform. The health rate of this investor's position has fallen to 1.02, putting his 12,734 ETH, valued at approximately $38.77 million, on the brink of liquidation.
