According to monitoring by Lookonchain, an early participant in Ethereum is continuously reducing their holdings of ETH.Data shows that in the past week, this address has sold a total of 55,000 ETH and 9,442 wstETH, with a total value of approximately 136.25 million dollars, and an average selling price of about 2,041 dollars per ETH.

Lido stated on social media that Swellchain will cease operations on June 15, 2026, and users need to withdraw their wstETH assets in advance.After June 15, 2026, Swellchain will be permanently closed, and any remaining wstETH may not be recoverable.

According to monitoring by Lookonchain, the whale 0xD91D created a new address and deposited 9,500 wstETH into Spark. Subsequently, it borrowed 9,500 ETH, worth approximately 22.68 million USD, and transferred it to Binance for sale, while withdrawing USDE from Binance to repay its loan on Aave.

According to Lookonchain monitoring, a certain OTC whale (0xd45...FB20) that previously bought 163,000 ETH and 4,000 cbBTC withdrew 98,032 wstETH (worth $272 million) and 3,000 cbBTC (worth $221 million) from Aave.Due to the inability to withdraw ETH affected by the KelpDAO rsETH bridge vulnerability, the whale directly exchanged 7,438 aEthWETH (worth $16.83 million) for 1,930 stETH and 5,272 ETH, resulting in a loss of 237 ETH (worth $540,000). Currently, the address still has 10,000 ETH (worth $22.8 million) remaining in Aave.

According to The Block, Aave experienced a temporary oracle failure on March 10, resulting in the improper liquidation of approximately $26 million in wstETH positions.A post-mortem analysis report released by Chaos Labs, a major risk management service provider for Aave, indicated that the issue stemmed from a configuration error in the price oracle for the relevant assets (CAPO). Due to an inconsistency between the snapshot ratio and the snapshot timestamp, the oracle reported an exchange rate cap of approximately 1.1939, significantly lower than the actual market exchange rate of about 1.228, leading to erroneous liquidations of E-Mode positions.The incident affected around 34 accounts, with a total of approximately 10,938 wstETH being liquidated. Chaos Labs stated that a compensation plan is underway, which will utilize 141.5 ETH recovered from the event and up to 345 ETH from the DAO treasury to compensate affected users. The report emphasized that this incident was not a design flaw of CAPO or the off-chain risk oracle, but rather a parameter misalignment caused by on-chain configuration inconsistencies.

Lido officially stated that there is a potential vulnerability in the ZKsync wstETH bridging endpoint contract. There are currently no signs that this vulnerability has been exploited, and wstETH holders on ZKsync are not affected. Other bridging contracts are not impacted.As a precaution, Lido has paused new deposits to the ZKsync bridging contract, while withdrawals from zkSync and token transfers are unaffected. Lido has prepared a fix that will be audited and deployed during the next scheduled on-chain Lido governance comprehensive vote (late March/early April), after which the deposit functionality will be restored. Further updates will be released as necessary.

According to an update from on-chain analyst @ai_9684xtpa, a whale that "built a position of 42,452.79 ETH in a single day" has added another 11,355.06 wstETH.
