Summary
The market has recovered materially over the last week with BTC breaking through $25k and ETH at $1.7k. The bullish market moves come against a backdrop of regulatory turbulence as the SEC is stepping up the actions against US onshore crypto platforms.
OlympusDAO is launching a Lending AMO and $OHM borrowing markets are enabled on Euler and Silo. The Lending AMO (short for Algorithmic Market Operations Controller) is an enhanced feature and will mint a maximum of Ω200k (~$2m) into these lending markets. The purpose of the AMO is to keep OHM borrow rates more attractive, scale OHM supply more strategically and optimize utility, further diversify the OHM backing.
Platypus’ stablecoin USDP depegged on Thursday last week as the underlying protocol suffered a flashloan exploit to the tune of $8.5m. However, in a fortunate turn of events and with help from BlockSec, Platypus has been able to recover a portion of the funds (c. USDC 2.4m).
The attacker could only cash out $270,000 out of the almost $9.1 million in stolen funds from Platypus. As per on-chain data, approximately $8.5 million of stolen funds are frozen in the contract they were transferred to, and another $380,000 from a second attempted exploit were mistakenly sent back to Aave. Using a callback function in the attacker’s contract, BlockSec helped Platypus recover a portion of the stolen funds.
Avi Eisenberg asks court if he can keep the Mango exploit funds.

Watchlist
stkcvxcrvPlain3andSUSD has an outsized share within the collateral pool as it accounts for 40% (unchanged from last week) of the total. This in itself does not pose a specific red flag but deserves extra attention to avoid concentration risk from building up.
