Urgent warning: Over $5 billion worth of stablecoins on Aave are locked – Utilization rate reaches 100%.

Latest on-chain data shows:

  • USDT: Reserve Size $3.03B | Available Liquidity only $4,762
  • USDC: Reserve Size $2.38B | Available Liquidity only $11,970

With virtually zero liquidity left, users are unable to withdraw their stablecoins despite massive reserves. This extreme utilization signals severe capital lock-up and potential systemic stress in the largest DeFi lending protocol.

Lesson for ONFA community: High utilization + near-zero liquidity is a major red flag. Always monitor real-time pool health before depositing large amounts into lending protocols. Liquidity can dry up faster than expected.
