$131M worth of $CRV is at risk of liquidation if the price drops by 35%.

The Curve Founder has borrowed $110M in stablecoins against all his $CRV - 50% of the circulating supply.

This could have severe implications for DeFi, with lending protocols at risk of accruing bad debt Image
2/ Given these risks, new deposits and loans have been paused on Aave V2.

This action, along with an active governance proposal to freeze $CRV assets on Aave V2, aim to limit further risk exposure and mitigate potential damages due to market liquidity concerns. Image
3/ The current buy-side liquidity across ETH and stablecoins is only $51M, just 42% of the liquidatable amount on Aave and FraxLend combined. Image

2/ Foreword

For this comparative analysis, only multi-chain bridges are included, in a period from January to May 2023. Also, native bridges exclusively between L2s and Ethereum are not analyzed.
3/ Ethereum makes up 58% of DeFi TVL

The total TVL in DeFi is $47.6B, with Ethereum making up for $27.8B of it.

After the rumors involving the Multichain team being arrested, we decided to take a look at the protocols with the highest exposure to it.

In first place comes Fantom, with 35% of its total TVL locked in it and a significant portion of the chain's assets issued by the bridge. Image
2/ 40% of all Fantom assets, excluding its native $FTM token, are issued by Multichain.

These assets, primarily wrapped ones, amount to $650M, signaling a significant reliance on the bridge. Image
3/ Looking at stablecoins, the situation becomes more concerning

Multichain issues 81% of the total stablecoin market cap within the Fantom ecosystem, with $USDC leading at $194M out of $458M. Image

Let’s explore: Image
2/ Following Lido V2, the interest in staked $ETH remains strong.

Currently, LSDs sum up to nearly 48% of the 18.8M $ETH staked to date. Image
3/ Given the expectation of continued staked $ETH growth, various protocols have emerged to serve this pool of capital that would potentially be seeking out more utility and yield.

While not comprehensive, below are protocols we currently find notable within the LSDfi category. Image
