A major wallet (0x19c4…d26a) just got liquidated for $1.45 million on Aave after BTC dropped below $104k. The positions wiped out included WBTC, ETH, and LINK holdings.
The breakdown:
Liquidation triggered by BTC price action
Multi-asset exposure = bigger risk
This is why over-leverage on lending protocols can be brutal
Take: Even whales aren’t immune to margin calls. Shows how tight liquidity can be when majors move decisively. Another reminder that DeFi leverage amplifies both wins and losses—one price wick and boom, position gone.
Still watching if this signals more cascade liquidations or if the market stabilizes here.
