🟣 $27 million liquidated on $AAVE : a simple bug... or a real DeFi risk?
The DeFi platform Aave recorded nearly $27 million in liquidations in 24 hours.
The cause: a temporary malfunction in the oracle used to value collateral.
The problem affected wstETH, the token representing ETH staked via Lido.
During the incident:
• the oracle valued wstETH at around 1.19 ETH • the market valued it at closer to 1.23 ETH
This price discrepancy was enough to trigger automatic liquidations on certain positions.
According to several analyses, the cause was a misconfiguration of the CAPO risk oracle, linked to unsynchronized exchange rate parameters in a smart contract.
💡 Even in advanced DeFi, dependence on oracles remains a critical issue. A simple data discrepancy can trigger millions of cascading liquidations.

Recently: • Increase in activity among small investors • Significant decrease in volumes among large players
