Sky's stUSD vault just hit a nasty bottleneck. One whale is sitting on $62 million out of $93 million in total borrows—paying 28% APR, sure, but here's the kicker: depositors are stuck. Can't pull funds out. Why? The vault's at 100% utilization. Every single dollar is locked up with this one borrower.



So what's the plan? Governance is floating an idea—set up Curve pools where people can bail at a discount. Think 70 to 80 cents on the dollar. Not great, but better than being frozen out entirely. Classic DeFi liquidity crunch playing out in real time.

Goodness, a Whale completely froze the entire vault, this is Decentralized Finance!

A whale locked up 93% of the funds? This is the real "lending protocol"... But to be honest, borrowing at 28% APR, this big guy's capital cost must be very high.

A Whale locked up 62 million, that's outrageous... This is the cost of DeFi, the illusion of liquidity.

actually, let's break this down—one whale hoarding 67% of borrows is just asking for systemic fragility. this is literally the counterparty risk nightmare everyone warned about lol

A single Whale can block the entire vault, this design from Sky is really a bit ridiculous.

62m was blocked by a Whale, this is the cost of centralization.
