Aave market freezes draw scrutiny over claimed $60M hacker loan
Aave's market freezes are under scrutiny after a social media post claimed a Binance-linked attacker deposited $60 million in stolen USDT and borrowed roughly 19,762 ETH before issuer freezes took effect. The claim, posted on X by Emilio, raises questions about how quickly DeFi protocols and stablecoin issuers can react to illicit flows. Traders will watch whether the episode damages confidence in Aave's risk controls and in USDT freeze mechanics.
