Aave Suspends 17 Ethereum Tokens Lending Markets Amid Risk Concerns

Cointime Official

Aave’s governance community has passed a proposal to freeze lending markets for 17 Ethereum-based tokens on Aave’s v2 protocol.

The governance community of Aave, a leading Ethereum decentralised lending protocol, has voted to temporarily close support of 17 Ethereum-based tokens and stablecoins markets on the Aave v2 protocol due to volatility and other risk concerns.

Aave Community Passes Proposal to Suspend 17 Tokens Amid Volatility Issues

The affected token markets are as follows: yearn.finance (YFI), Curve DAO (CRV), 0x (ZRX), Decentraland (MANA), 1inch (1INCH), Basic Attention Token (BAT), Ampleforth (AMPL), DeFi Pulse Index (DPI), renFIL (RENFIL) and Maker (MKR), Enjin (ENJ), xSUSHI (xSUSHI). The stablecoin markets include sUSD, GUSD, RAI, USDP, and LUSD.

Llama and Chaos Labs reportedly made the proposal on the ground that the “market situation of these assets is currently volatile.”

A summary of the proposal further noted that Aave’s v2 protocol lacks certain risk controls that Aave v3 solves for “supply caps, borrow caps, isolation mode, e-mode, etc.” However, the proposed parameter updates will derisk Aave v2 and promote eventual migration to v3.

Per the post, some of the affected tokens may be completely delisted or relisted in the future, depending on liquidity and usage levels.

“We are pleased to see the community taking the important first step to further manage risk following today’s events on the protocol, especially with rigour. This is a strong first step for the DAO as it works towards a community-led solution,” said Aave Companies, the for-profit company behind the Aave DeFi lending protocol.

DeFi Communities Are Taking Precautionary Steps Amid FTX’s Fallout

Over the recent weeks, DeFi governance communities have been taking measures to hedge against any possible impact from the ongoing liquidity crisis and market volatility spurred by the demise of crypto companies, especially FTX.

Last week, the Maker’s governance community also passed a proposal to offload renBTC from Dai stablecoin reserve. The community foresees a potential depeg in the bitcoin token due to its apparent financial ties with the bankrupt Alameda Research, which acquired the project in early 2021.

    On September 24, two informed sources revealed that DeepSeek's current annual revenue run rate has reached $1 billion. Just a few months ago, this figure was below $500 million. The revenue growth is attributed to a recent increase in API pricing and the continued popularity of its large models in the market. DeepSeek CEO Liang Wenfeng disclosed the latest revenue data during a recent investor meeting. The company is advancing its second round of financing and preparing for an IPO on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, with this revenue performance expected to boost investor confidence. DeepSeek aims to complete this round of financing by the end of October, targeting to raise 50 billion yuan (approximately $7.5 billion) with a valuation goal of 500 billion yuan. According to insiders, part of DeepSeek's revenue growth comes from last month's price adjustment, which raised model invocation prices to 2.3 to 4.5 times the original rates. Liang Wenfeng stated at the meeting that the price adjustment has not led to customer loss, and user demand remains strong. Insiders reported that Liang Wenfeng informed investors that DeepSeek continues to allocate most of its resources to the development of new models, with over 70% of computing power dedicated to model training, leaving less than 30% for inference operations of existing models. Liang Wenfeng also indicated to investors that internal testing shows the company's lightweight models can run stably on gaming graphics cards, capable of handling the vast majority of users' daily tasks.
