Oh, Aave, you’re in a pickle! USDC rates are shooting up faster than a Brooks comedy at a stuffy awards show, but will it save the day or just make everyone laugh… and cry?
Well, well, well! The DeFi world is in a tizzy, and it’s all thanks to KelpDAO’s little oopsie-daisy with rsETH. Now, Aave’s Ethereum pool is sweating more than a villain in a Brooks film, and everyone’s pointing fingers like it’s a game of “Blame-a-Thon 2024.” Circle’s chief economist, Gordon Liao, has a plan-jack up those USDC rates like they’re on a rocket to the moon. But will it work, or will it just make borrowers scream, “Help! I’m liquidating!”?
KelpDAO’s $30B Oopsie Sparks Aave’s Rate Roulette
So, Gordon Liao says, “Let’s crank up the ‘Slope 2’ to 40%-heck, why not 50%? Let’s make it rain USDC deposits!” But here’s the kicker: borrowing rates are already at 14%, and the liquidity pool is drier than a Brooks script without jokes. Repayments are vanishing faster than a Brooks character in a disguise, and lenders are stuck in line like it’s the DMV of DeFi.
All this drama started with KelpDAO’s $292 million “oops, my bad” moment. Now, Aave’s TVL has dropped from $45 billion to $15.3 billion-that’s a bigger fall than a Brooks villain into a vat of glue. Withdrawals are flying out, and borrowing demand is sticking around like an uninvited guest at a party.

Liao’s like, “40% to 50% rates? Capital will flood in faster than audiences to a Brooks movie!” But not everyone’s laughing. Some say higher rates will just push $70 million in debt into liquidation faster than you can say, “It’s good to be the king.”
Circle’s USDC Plan: Genius or Just Plain Loco?
Critics are shouting, “Hey Circle, why don’t you just add liquidity instead of playing governance guru?” Liao’s like, “Hey, these are my thoughts, not Circle’s-I’m just a guy with a calculator and a dream!” Meanwhile, Circle’s already in hot water after refusing to freeze funds from another exploit. Talk about a bad month!
And the KelpDAO attacker? They’re swapping ETH for Bitcoin like it’s going out of style-75,700 ETH, worth $175 million, in just 36 hours. Most of it went through THORChain, generating $800 million in volume and $910,000 in fees. This saga’s crazier than a Brooks plot twist!
