Voices and Perspectives
Spark Strategy Chief: Aave Unfreezing WETH Market Will Increase Risks for Ordinary Users
Spark Strategy Chief MonetSupply posted on platform X stating that Aave has decided to lift the freeze on the Ethereum Core WETH market. Under the current interest rate model, LST/LRT holders can execute high-leverage circular strategies using assets such as weETH, taking advantage of weETH's market price of about 0.5% discount and Aave ETH borrowing rate ceiling of 5.15%, obtaining approximately 45% annualized yield space. Currently, the utilization rate of the aEthWETH market has reached 100%, making it more difficult for ordinary depositors and stablecoin borrowers to exit or refinance from aWETH. MonetSupply points out that this decision, without addressing liquidity tightness in aEthWETH, provides arbitrageurs with profit opportunities, undermining liquidity and experience for ordinary users.

DefiLlama founder 0xngmi posted on platform X stating that after verifying the data, if Arbitrum uses the seized funds primarily for the AAVE market on Arbitrum, with all rsETH sharing the markdown, Aave will have absolutely no bad debt on Arbitrum; under the condition that only the mainnet rsETH value is guaranteed (ignoring the value of the Layer2 mapped version of rsETH), Aave's bad debt on Arbitrum will be reduced by 80%, from $88 million to $17 million.
DWF Labs partner Andrei Grachev stated that the current situation in the DeFi market shows that there are no truly risk-free yields.

Tom Lee: Retail Investors Will Return to the Market, Becoming the Main Drivers of the Current Rise
Tom Lee stated in an interview with CNBC today that retail investors will become the main fuel for the next wave of rises, believing that many retail investors missed the rebound during previous sell-offs related to the U.S.-Iran conflict, and now, as panic eases, they are likely to re-enter the market, providing a large buying force. Therefore, with the return of retail funds and sustained corporate profit growth, investors may welcome "one of the best times of their lives" in the next 18-24 months.
