In addition, the hedge fund firm has been reportedly using the withdrawn funds to settle its debts on the AAVE 2nd platform. It did this to secure its 223k ETH that Worth’s about $264M from liquidation.
The firm’s holdings stand the risk of liquidation if the price of ETH falls below $1016. If this happens, there would be a massive ripple effect as many investors would sell off their ETH holdings.
