Il 5 luglio 2026, due wallet stcUSD (circa 5,14 milioni e 4,85 milioni di stcUSD) hanno messo in atto su Aave una strategia di leva a ciclo elevato, portando l'health factor a circa 1,03, in prossimità della soglia di liquidazione. Secondo l'analisi, sotto 1,05 il parametro entra in un'area di rischio elevato: basta un piccolo salto dei tassi o un soft depeg della stablecoin dell'1–2% per innescare la liquidazione automatica. L'episodio evidenzia la fragilità delle strategie a leva nell'ecosistema Aave e mette in primo piano la dipendenza del protocollo da livelli di collateralizzazione, volatilità dei tassi e stabilità dell'ancoraggio delle stablecoin, un caso tipico di rischio strutturale nella DeFi.

Diversi wallet riconducibili a operatori istituzionali, tra cui Cumberland e Monetalis, hanno acquistato complessivamente UNI per 6,12 milioni di dollari in prossimità della resistenza chiave a 4,00 dollari. In precedenza, anche Wintermute aveva trasferito oltre 1 milione di dollari in UNI tramite exchange principali. La pressione in acquisto si è sommata a una vasta ondata di liquidazioni di posizioni short nell'area 4,05–4,15 dollari, innescando ulteriore domanda "meccanica" e spingendo il prezzo di UNI fino a 4,56 dollari. Negli ultimi giorni il token è tornato sopra 4,56 dollari, un livello che non veniva riconquistato da maggio. In caso di ritorno sotto 4,00 dollari, il prossimo obiettivo al ribasso è indicato a 3,66 dollari.
