Recently, a DeFi user swapped $50.4 million of aEthUSDT into just $36,000 of aEthAAVE on the Aave platform using a CoW Swap widget.

NEW: A new 11 year study analyzing Bitcoin’s resilience to submarine cable failures finds the network remains highly robust even when critical internet infrastructure is disrupted.
Using data from 2014 to 2025 and 68 verified cable fault events, researchers found random cable failures would require roughly 72% to 92% of inter country connections to fail before causing major node disconnection.
Targeted attacks are more effective but still require 5% to 20% of key connections to be disrupted.
The study also found Tor usage increases Bitcoin’s resilience because relay bandwidth is concentrated i

BITCOIN IS STARTING TO OUTPERFORM AGAIN
Coinbase says #Bitcoin has begun outperforming U.S. equities on a risk-adjusted basis over the past week.
After months of macro pressure and geopolitical shocks hitting global markets, $BTC is starting to show relative strength versus the S&P 500 and Nasdaq.
Several things are shifting at the same time:
📈 U.S. labor data is starting to cool
📈 Crypto market participation is picking up again
📈 Institutions may revisit Bitcoin’s role as a portfolio diversifier
Coinbase says this could mean markets are moving past “peak pessimism.”

The software sector is facing a massive debt wall:
~$40 billion in software and services debt matures in 2028, the largest single-year concentration.
The vast majority of this is rated B- or lower, deep in junk territory, with no investment-grade debt in the mix.
In total, ~$100 billion in software debt matures from 2026 to 2029, with an additional ~$70 billion beyond 2030.
Meanwhile, AI disruption is increasing credit risk for software borrowers, the exact companies that private credit funds have been lending to most aggressively.
Software is also the largest sector in the leveraged loan mark

Asia is the most exposed region to a shortage of LNG:
~85% of LNG transiting the Strait of Hormuz is destined for Asia, with limited rerouting options.
Korea, Thailand, and Taiwan are running LNG trade deficits of -1.5% of GDP, meaning they are the most vulnerable to shortages.
Japan, the world's 2nd-largest LNG importer, is also deeply exposed at -1.0% of GDP.
China is the biggest importer in volume terms, but its deficit as a % of GDP is almost flat due to the size of its economy.
The LNG shortage is a major energy risk for Asian economies.

Market liquidity is collapsing amid the Iran war:
Liquidity in S&P 500 futures is down to just $5.1 million, near the lowest since the April 2025 "Liberation Day."

Levels below $7 million usually signal market stress, according to Goldman Sachs.
This means it now takes just a few million Dollars in orders to move the S&P 500 by one tick.
To put this differently, every time an institution tries to buy or sell in size, the impact on the market price is now much larger than
