This kind of nine-figure USDT move signals major stress for Aave and highlights just how much power centralized players like HTX still wield over DeFi. Pool utilization spiked over 90%, sending borrowing rates soaring and shrinking available liquidity, triggering real concern in Aave’s community about whale risk and rate volatility.

Social chatter splits: some still bullish on USDT’s dominance and Aave’s tech, but many are openly questioning transparency and market stability when a single entity can rock the pool so dramatically. The short-term trading outlook for AAVE is shaky, with bearish pressure from liquidity shocks and a dip in user trust.

DeFi’s core vulnerability—overreliance on a handful of big actors—has never been clearer. Watch the aftermath for new risk controls, or more wild rate swings.
