If Tether or Circle steps in, we can say it's been collected. It became an incredibly bitter lesson for
· 2026-04-24T17:18:55+00:00Contributed to defiunited.eth. What the @aave team is doing right to restore rsETH and defend the integrity of DeFi, is bringing back the feeling of unity I felt back when I entered the space. Respect to everyone holding the line. We rebuild together. For safer DeFi
