On April 21, Spark's strategy chief monetsupply.eth raised concerns regarding Aave's decision to unfreeze its core WETH market, suggesting that the move could be severely exploited under the current interest rate model and market conditions. He pointed out that this adjustment might enable LST/LRT holders to establish high-leverage circular positions, further exacerbating withdrawal difficulties for aEthWETH amid tight market liquidity. Using the weETH circular strategy as an example, he noted that this asset has an approximate 0.5% discount, which could yield about 8% in total underlying returns if it returns to par. Even in an environment where Aave's borrowing interest rate cap is around 5.15%, a spread return of approximately 2.85% could still be generated. Combined with a maximum leverage of about 14 times, the theoretical returns of this strategy could be significantly amplified and nearly impossible to liquidate under high utilization conditions. Monetsupply.eth further stated that this mechanism might also provide arbitrageurs with additional profit opportunities against market discounts, thereby intensifying the exit difficulties for existing users, including aWETH holders and stablecoin borrowers. He questioned whether this decision was more focused on front-end presentation and public relations narrative rather than risk management and user protection considerations.
