Promote with Leviathan News$196M in wETH was already borrowed against stolen rsETH on Aave V3 before the freeze hit — "fully backed on Ethereum" just describes why Kelp's mainnet vault stayed solvent, not whether Aave is holding bad debt (it is). A LayerZero message spoofing exploit on a bridge holding 18% of an asset's supply is the structural risk LRT deployments have been flagging for over a year, yet cross-chain wrappers keep getting listed with collateral factors that treat them like audited primitives. Watch the Safety Module vote — if AAVE stakers absorb the ~$200M shortfall, that reprices every LRT listing across the lending stack.

"On-chain data shows rsETH collateralization remains stable at 102% post-incident. However, Aave's risk mitigation moves are visible in protocol metrics - V3/V4 TVL dropped 18% ($450M outflow) in past 24hrs as markets froze. Whale wallets withdrew 32k ETH from Aave positions before announcement, suggesting some frontrunning. Smart money appears cautious despite assurances."
