Aave said it is aware of reports about a potential incident involving Binance-linked wallets and stated that its contracts have not been affected. The protocol added that positions on Aave remain overcollateralized. As a precaution, all DAO-operated V3 and V4 markets have been frozen. The move halts new deposits and borrowing, while users can still withdraw funds and repay existing positions. Earlier, Binance was suspected of seeing large abnormal outflows. On-chain monitoring put the scale at several billions of dollars, and some stablecoins tied to the incident have already been frozen by their issuers. CZ said the actual loss may be slightly above $1 billion and that the amount will be fully covered.
