The ongoing bad debt incident triggered by the KelpDAO vulnerability continues to ferment, and market concerns about Aave's risk exposure are rapidly intensifying. On-chain selling pressure is being released in a concentrated manner, and AAVE has fallen by over 18% today.



From the behavior of whale addresses, funds are clearly "de-risking":

Address smaugvision sold 20,015 AAVE at an average price of about $103, receiving approximately 2.06 million USDC.
Whale 0xFC56 also sold 20,000 AAVE around the $103 range, receiving about 2.05 million USDC.

These two large-scale simultaneous reductions indicate that it is not just a single-point stop-loss but a systemic reassessment of protocol risk.

Such on-chain behaviors are often leading indicators—when whales start collectively shifting to stablecoins, the market usually enters a "liquidity defensive stage," and short-term selling pressure may further spread.

The current core issue is not the price itself but whether risks are fully priced in or still being transmitted.
