Less than 9% of Aave positions hold about half of outstanding debt via an Ethereum correlation trade
Fewer than 9% of positions on Aave account for nearly half of the protocol’s outstanding debt, concentrated in an Ethereum correlation trade. Galaxy data show this group has a debt-weighted loan-to-value ratio near 90%, an average health factor around 1.06, and a debt-to-equity ratio near 10.7x. The other 91% of positions have a debt-weighted LTV around 49%, an average health factor around 1.79, and debt-to-equity near 1.07x, indicating greater capacity to absorb stress. On the liability side, WETH represents about 73% of this cohort’s debt, and the analysis notes that if collateral and debt fall together, the health factor changes little.
