Curve creator Michael Egorov was liquidated for 918.83 K CRV ($882,000) after CRV fell by more than 12% over the previous 24-hours.
The head honcho of the decentralized financing (DeFi) loaning platform suffered a series of massive liquidations previously in 2024 after getting loans to acquire CRV and strengthen the rate. $140 million in overall was liquidated in June.
“Many of you understand that I had all my loans liquidated. Size of my positions was too big for markets to manage and triggered 10M of uncollectable bill,” Egorov composed at the time.
The most current of those purchases deserved $1.2 million on Dec. 17, at which point CRV was at trading at $1.11 before it toppled to around $0.91 on Thursday.
Egorov required to X following Thursday’s liquidation, specifying that the liquidated CRV was connected to the uWu hack in June which the liquidation was merely a “invoice of Sifu’s [uWu’s founder] pledge to pay back the hacked funds.”
This didn’t avoid additional selling, nevertheless, as CRV substantially underperformed versus the CoinDesk 20 Index, which is down by 4.81% at the time of composing versus CRV’s decrease of 12%.
Overall worth locked (TVL) on the Curve platform is below $3.5 billion on Dec. 16 to $3.25 billion on Thursday, although much of that can be credited to diminishing possession rates.
