A crypto trader lost over $50 million in Aave<\/a>-wrapped USDT<\/a> on March 12 after sending a single large order through the DeFi lending protocol’s swap interface and clearing a slippage warning on a mobile device.<\/p>\n

Data<\/a> from Etherscan shows the wallet swapped $50.43 million aEthUSDT for 327.24 aEthAAVE through CoW Protocol in Ethereum block 24,643,151.<\/p>\n

At the current AAVE price of $111.52, the returned tokens were worth roughly $36,100, leaving an implied loss of about $49.96 million relative to the original order size.<\/p>\n

The trade drew immediate attention across crypto markets because of its scale and because it moved through one of decentralized finance\u2019s largest venues. Aave is the largest DeFi lending protocol with over $1 trillion in total cumulative lending.<\/p>\n

Following the incident, Aave revealed plans to contact the affected user and return about $600,000 in fees collected from the transaction. CoW Protocol said it would also refund any fees sent to CoW DAO.<\/p>\n
