Spark Head of Strategy: Unfreezing the WETH Market on Aave Will Increase the Risk of Regular Users Getting Trapped
Foresight News reported that Spark Strategy Lead monetsupply.eth criticized on Twitter the decision by Aave to unfreeze the Ethereum Core WETH market, considering the move ill-considered and mainly beneficial to loop borrowers. He pointed out that since Aave Ethereum Core's borrowing rate is capped at 5.15%, while LST/LRT offer higher returns through discounts and staking rewards, arbitrageurs can achieve about 45% annualized returns by employing loop borrow strategies with up to 14x leverage. This approach will keep WETH market utilization at 100%, making it impossible for regular aWETH holders to withdraw collateral or refinance high-cost debt positions to other markets. He further questioned whether the decision was more about PR than sound risk management, as it has actually worsened the situation for regular users who have been stuck in the market over the past few days.
