According to PeckShieldAlert, an Aave whale address 0xdaf5...3f55 was liquidated for 7.83 million USD amid a continued market downturn, bringing total liquidations tied to the wallet to roughly 9 million USD; the position was long WBTC used as collateral to borrow USDT (source: PeckShieldAlert). The liquidation follows Aave’s process where liquidators repay the borrower’s USDT debt and receive WBTC collateral at a discount, which can add near-term sell pressure to WBTC markets during deleveraging phases (source: Aave Protocol Docs). The event underscores active deleveraging risk for WBTC-backed loans on Aave during price drawdowns, relevant for traders tracking on-chain liquidity and liquidation cascades (source: PeckShieldAlert; source: Aave Protocol Docs).

According to Lookonchain on Twitter, a major DeFi whale identified as 0x3c9 deposited 2,000 ETH (approximately $5.04 million) to Binance within the last 24 hours. This whale currently holds significant assets across multiple DeFi protocols, including $56.75 million in Compound, $18.26 million in Pendle, $10.93 million in AAVE, and $10 million collectively in Spark, Morpho, and Lido (LDO). Traders should monitor ETH price movements and on-chain flows, as large inflows to Binance often precede increased trading activity or potential sell pressure. The whale's diversified positions in major DeFi platforms indicate ongoing confidence in these protocols, but the ETH deposit could signal short-term volatility for ETH and related DeFi tokens.
