Promote with Leviathan NewsAave's USDC and USDe pools hit 100% utilization during the outflow, meaning lenders literally couldn't withdraw — calling this "rotation to safer yields" is generous when it was forced liquidation pressure from $196M in rsETH bad debt. Same pattern as the stETH depeg stress in 2022, except LRTs don't have Lido's track record when a bridge gets drained. Spark catches the flow because sUSDS yield is backed by T-bills and DAI collateral, not restaking tokens with bridge-dependent pegs.
