Tomorrow we'll be launching ENA²_labs - we'll be borrowing spot ENA from the Ethena Foundation, selling, and using the cash to long ENA perps. We'll use this delta neutral position to issue a synthetic stable called sUSDee, expected to yield 160% APR.

@CelsiusNetwork wBTC now moved. 0 Compound debt or assets. End of an era. $824m of on-chain debt paid down over the duration of exactly one month today (Zapper screenshot from June 13th).

T-2 hours until Aave Governance Vote #97 concludes, deciding whether Aave pause ETH borrowing pre-merge. Governance discussion + snapshot has gone under the CT radar this week, but is worth understanding as it may impact your on-chain Merge strategies🧵

Weirdest part is that this seemed preordained. There was a $JCD telegram group created 4 days ago, with some chatter on twitter after years of nothing? Retroactive public goods funding for... Uniswap Co-Founders? @oooitscrime Hayden's tweet for context

Five years ago, before the launch of Uniswap v1, I deployed a token called HayCoin to use for testing. This was back when gas was so cheap that mainnet could be used as as a testnet. After the launch of v1, I created a small test liquidity pool with a tiny fraction of the total

Celsius has removed the majority of their final position. (6.9k wBTC, $132m). Only 1 more de-levering cycle to go until it's all off-chain. (excl. CEL & staked Ether).

They could be going OTC with this, but usually just dump spot once they withdraw to exchange from here (usually within 24h). Could be psyops, but strongly doubt it.

Having done some more digging, I don't think this was an OTC transaction. Both the USDC & Ether have been stagnant for a while, awaiting movement. Maybe the Celsius intern went for lunch. The prior connections with this clusterfuck of wallets linked w/0x413..

@TheDeFiDan UPDATE: @CelsiusNetwork added more BTC to their collateral overnight (now sitting at $545m in collateral, 24k BTC). If they had not added over the last couple of days they would've been liquidated several hours ago. They now have more breathing room (-26%) until liqs begin.

Reminder: This was tweeted LESS than 24h ago.😡 The Chapter 11 Bankruptcy INCLUDES FTX US. Lying through his teeth amidst already certain peril. Tragic. Would be intrigued to see FTX US withdrawals map over last 24h to see what was extracted from that entity since this tweet.

19) A few other assorted comments: This was about FTX International. FTX US, the US based exchange that accepts Americans, was not financially impacted by this shitshow. It's 100% liquid. Every user could fully withdraw (modulo gas fees etc). Updates on its future coming.

Although this position is now only worth $42m and is on the verge of being liquidated, it's hard to fathom how much ETH this is. At ETH ATH of $4.8k, this positions collateral was over $1bn.

Couple interesting observations from new @CelsiusNetwork Bankruptcy docs (snapshot 2 wks after they fully de-levered on-chain): 1/ stETH was not sold OTC 2/ This confirms Celsius own 95.1% of $CEL token supply 3/ They are even more fucked than I thought

@CelsiusNetwork are very active on-chain ATM, pulling in various tokens into their 0xEf2 wallet and then transferring to main Aave/Comp wallet (0x8AC). They moved in the $37m in LINK (previously in Maker vault, see below), $13m in SNX, $2m in BAT, $1.5m in UNI, $1m in SUSHI.

FWIW, if you try and pull a bank run on USDT, the optimal time to do it is late on Friday heading into the weekend such that TradFi markets are closed and if positioned badly, Tether could struggle to exit non-cash equivs. It's a Thursday folks. What am I missing here?
