PANews reported on January 20 that, according to HyperInsight monitoring, all of the top 30 long whales in the current on-chain holdings list have suffered significant losses. The largest long position is still held by the whale "suspected insider of HYPE listing" (0x082e), which currently holds approximately $31.9 million, with an average price of $38.67, a floating loss of $21.3 million (-337%), and a liquidation price of approximately $20.13.

Previously, on December 18, the whale that "suffered a liquidation of 26 million HYPE long positions" is now the second largest long position on the chain, with a current holding of approximately $13.06 million, an average price of $38.67, a floating loss of $4.61 million (-177%), and a liquidation price of approximately $21.3.

The largest whale (0x1c2) closest to liquidation is currently trading at $22.32, only 2.87% away from liquidation, with a position size of approximately $11.14 million and a floating loss of $910,000 (82%). It's worth noting that this address also holds a long position in BTC using a cross-margin strategy, which is also experiencing significant floating losses and is nearing liquidation. Since both positions share margin, if the relevant cryptocurrencies simultaneously fall by more than 2%, this address will very likely face liquidation risk.

Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO

The post Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aave DAO is gearing up for a significant overhaul by shutting down over 50% of underperforming L2 instances. It is also restructuring its governance framework and deploying over $100 million to boost GHO. This could be a pivotal moment that propels Aave back to the forefront of on-chain lending or sparks unprecedented controversy within the DeFi community. Sponsored Sponsored ACI Proposes Shutting Down 50% of L2s The “State of the Union” report by the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) paints a candid picture. After a turbulent period in the DeFi market and internal challenges, Aave (AAVE) now leads in key metrics: TVL, revenue, market share, and borrowing volume. Aave’s annual revenue of $130 million surpasses the combined cash reserves of its competitors. Tokenomics improvements and the AAVE token buyback program have also contributed to the ecosystem’s growth. Aave global metrics.

While Aave’s L2 strategy was once a key driver of success, it is no longer fit for purpose. Over half of Aave’s instances on L2s and alt-L1s are not economically viable. Based on year-to-date data, over 86.6% of Aave’s revenue comes from the mainnet, indicating that everything else is a side quest. On this basis, ACI proposes closing underperforming networks. The DAO should invest in key networks with significant differentiators. Second, ACI is pushing for a complete overhaul of the “friendly fork” framework, as most have been unimpressive regarding TVL and revenue. In some cases, attackers have exploited them to Aave’s detriment, as seen with Spark. Sponsored Sponsored “The friendly fork model had a good intention but bad execution where the DAO was too friendly towards these forks, allowing the DAO only little upside,” the report states. Third, the instance model, once a smart…
