The decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol Aave generated $6 million in revenue during a significant crypto market sell-off. The platform capitalized on the market downturn by liquidating $350 million in DeFi positions, including a notable $7.4 million WETH liquidation. Despite the market chaos, Aave maintained $21 billion in value secured. This event marked the highest DeFi liquidations in a year, with Ethereum collateral being the most affected. The broader crypto market also experienced significant liquidations, with centralized exchanges seeing over $1 billion in liquidations as Bitcoin dropped below $53,000. Source: CoinDesk.
