Chaos Labs: Aave's $4.7B Exposure to Ethena Could Trigger "Liquidity Crunch"

By: theblockbeats.news|2025/08/05 03:42:19

BlockBeats News, August 5th, according to DL News, Aave's risk advisor Chaos Labs stated that as the deposit amount of the US dollar-pegged token USDe in the protocol continues to increase, Ethena's USDe stablecoin may pose a threat to Aave's robustness and trigger liquidity crunch. Chaos Labs discussed the potential risks of Aave's exposure to Ethena, which has been increasing, in a post released on Saturday on the Aave governance forum. Chaos Labs pointed out that when USDe holders deposit a large amount of the token into Aave, and its issuer Ethena simultaneously lends out the stablecoin backing that asset, a significant risk is formed. Ethena must avoid overallocating its stablecoin reserves to Aave. Self-imposed limits on such exposure help ensure redemption reliability and market stability. Ethena has not immediately responded to a request for comment.

Ethena has deposited $580 million of USDe-backed assets into Aave, a strategy known as rehypothecation. In addition, Aave's current $4.7 billion exposure comes from USDe-backed assets, including PT and sUSDe, accounting for over 55% of USDe's total supply. Chaos Labs stated: "The dual role of backed assets, serving as both Aave's redemption capital and liquidity, has created a vulnerability that could exacerbate pressure on both protocols during a deleveraging event." Due to the growth and contraction cycles of the support mechanism, in a bearish market, if the backed assets are borrowed, USDe holders' redemptions may pose issues, with the circular strategy amplifying the risk, potentially leading to Aave's liquidity crunch, rising borrowing rates, and triggering a chain reaction. However, there is currently no immediate cause for concern, as the unwinding of contraction cycle positions may offset the surge in utilization. But as USDe grows or rehypothecation increases, the situation may change. Chaos Labs is developing a new risk prediction tool to adjust rates, ensuring orderly redemptions during periods of market stress.
