A classic “get liquidity first, worry about efficiency later” move.
the same whale that previously loaded up on massive Ethereum and cbBTC positions just pulled a huge chunk out of Aave, withdrawing 98,032 wstETH (~$272M) and 3,000 cbBTC (~$221.6M). that alone tells you confidence in the lending environment took a hit after the KelpDAO rsETH exploit.
but the messy part is what happened next. because $ETH liquidity on Aave was tight, he couldn’t fully exit cleanly, so he force-swapped 7,438 aEthWETH (~$16.83M) into 1,930 stETH + 5,272 ETH, eating a loss of about 237 #ETH (~$540K) just to get out. that’s not a trading mistake--that’s someone paying a premium for immediate liquidity.
Even after all that, he still has around 10,000 ETH (~$22.8M) stuck on Aave, so the exit isn’t fully complete yet.
this kind of behavior says a lot: not trying to optimize profits, prioritizing capital safety.... willing to take losses to reduce protocol exposure....when whales start accepting slippage and losses just to move funds…that’s usually a sign the risk perception has already shifted.
Anyways here is the address:
