This Article Takes A Look at The DeFi Debt Crisis That Alameda Is Currently Facing

At present, on the debt problem of FTX and Alameda Research, which everyone is more concerned about, RWA.xyz analyzed the debt situation of the latter in the DeFi field through data analysis.

1/ Alameda previously borrowed hundreds of millions of $ from DeFi.Now they are facing a liquidity crunch (or worse), putting their unsecured creditors at risk.Here's what their DeFi debt obligations are now.

2/ $7.28M from their @TrueFiDAO pool.They successfully made interest payments a week ago, but the principal comes due in less than 50 days.First sign of trouble will be missed payments due Nov 20.

3/ There's still $4.76M in idle capital here, and seems like depositors are already starting to remove their capital in advance of a possible delinquency.

4/ $5.5M from their @ClearpoolFin pools.2 loans originated Sep 15/16 with neither requiring interest payments or having a set maturity date due to Clearpool's mechanism design.Because they are permissioned, we also know the borrowers here: Apollo and Compound.

5/ They also had a @maplefinance pool that originated almost $300m of loans to them.But no loans are active at the moment.

6/ Similar story on Maple pools managed by @OrthoCredit and @M11Credit.No outstanding loans despite over $100m originated in the past.

7/ Alameda also borrowed over 20M MIM against over $50M worth of FTT using @MIM_Spell.

This is just one of likely countless similar positions in DeFi lending markets, which will likely take minimal losses because of their over-collateralized nature.

8/ One can only speculate about loans outstanding from notable lending desks like Genesis, who publicly dealt with significant losses from 3AC

But in DeFi, we can see exactly what the exposures are where.

9/ We didn't intend to tweet anything until our public launch next week.

But given the situation unfolding, thought we would provide some useful information given our data-enhanced view of the space.

  • Making Ether A Better Money

    In its current form, Ether (ETH) is not a good form of money. This is due to one critical limitation: its value is highly unstable. However, ETH can become stable by adjusting the rewards to validators (and thus the supply of ETH) to changes in demand for ETH. We can target a 0% inflation rate while ensuring validators are paid sufficiently to ensure network security. This new monetary policy can be called Stable Ether Monetary Policy (SEMP). With SEMP, ETH holders would have a great currency, and ETH validators would have exposure to the adoption of ETH.

  • Scammers use fake USDT balances to defraud cryptocurrency users

    SlowMist has partnered with Imtoken to uncover a new cryptocurrency scam that uses offline transactions and USDT. Scammers manipulate the Ethereum RPC to falsify the USDT balance in the victim's wallet. The scammer lures the victim to change their Ethereum RPC URL to a URL controlled by them, making it appear that the victim has deposited USDT funds, but in reality, the victim is left empty-handed when attempting to trade. In addition, the scam also deceives users through small transfers to gain trust, then manipulates account balances and contract information, posing serious risks to unsuspecting users and is related to a wider range of pig slaughter scam activities.
