As Crypto Prices Fall, Liquidation Risks Arise: Here Are The Levels At Which Massive Ethereum Whales Will Liquidate

The cryptocurrency market has experienced a sharp decline in the last 24 hours, with the price of Ethereum (ETH) falling by more than 4.5% to $1,530. This has left some users of decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms at risk of liquidation, as their collateral may not be enough to cover their debts.

According to DeFiLlama, a website that tracks DeFi data, there are two users with large amounts of ETH and Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) collateral on Aave v2 and Compound, respectively. These users also have significant amounts of debt in USDC and DAI.

The second address, which has the address 0x99…ddc3, has 24,188.88 ETH, 184.1174 WBTC and 7.786.2875 COMP as collateral in Compound and has a debt of 31.865.041 DAI. If the ETH price falls to $1,420, $38.6 million of collateral belonging to this whale will be subject to liquidation.

These users may need to either repay their debts or add more collateral to avoid liquidation. Or they will hope that the crypto market will recover soon and their collateral will regain value.
