Over $5.4 billion in assets were withdrawn from Aave after a hacker exploited rsETH to borrow ETH, with Justin Sun withdrawing 65,584 ETH ($154 million). ETH prices remain under pressure as users migrate to Spark, where ETH deposit rates peaked at 130% and have since settled near 18%. Lending activity is drawing attention to altcoins to watch as market flows realign.

According to on-chain analyst Ember (@EmberCN), after the hacker borrowed a large amount of ETH by illegally minting rsETH as collateral via Aave, over $5.4 billion in assets have been urgently withdrawn from Aave for risk mitigation purposes. Among these, Sun Guangchuan withdrew 65,584 ETH, valued at approximately $154 million. Meanwhile, existing on-chain lending demand has shifted to protocols such as Spark, causing Spark’s ETH deposit rate to briefly surge to 130%—it currently remains around 18%.
