Independent analysis by YieldsAndMore has uncovered a complex web of potential risk associated with Stream Finance's $93 million loss. The analysis suggests that this loss could have a ripple effect, indirectly impacting hundreds of millions of dollars in loans and collateral positions across numerous DeFi protocols.
The analysis revealed that the largest single risk exposure pertains to Elixir's deUSD, where the protocol lent $68 million in USDC to Stream, representing approximately 65% of deUSD's total reserves. While Elixir claims to hold positions with “full redemption rights per dollar,” Stream has informed creditors that repayments will be paused pending the completion of a legal review.
Other potential indirect exposures include Treeve's scUSD, a stablecoin entangled in multi-layered lending loops through Mithras, Silo, and Euler. In addition, Varlamore and MEV Capital hold smaller, but still noteworthy, positions.
YieldsAndMore stated in a post regarding the Stream incident: “This risk map is still incomplete, and we expect more impacted liquidity pools to surface as positions are unwound and lending contracts are audited.”
Overall, this analysis highlights the complexity and interconnected risks within the DeFi space, underscoring the importance of thorough due diligence and effective risk management for participants in this growing market.
