ME News reports that on April 20 (UTC+8), the DeFi protocol Fluid officially launched the aWETH redemption protocol. With ETH utilization on the Aave platform reaching 100%, many borrowers are currently unable to withdraw their funds and face increasing risk in the event of market volatility. The aWETH redemption protocol will allow ETH borrowers to: • Redeem for wstETH or weETH • Immediately restore liquidity • Reduce liquidation risk. Users who have borrowed only ETH can fully redeem their position. For users with ETH collateral and other debts, the collateral will be seamlessly converted to wstETH or weETH while the debt remains unchanged. Fluid is collaborating with Lido Finance, EtherFi, and other ecosystem partners to reduce systemic risk in DeFi, alleviate usage pressure, and support a healthier DeFi market. The protocol’s initial capacity is capped at $1 billion in ETH. (Source: ChainCatcher)
