Market data shows SPK surged up to 73% within 24 hours and topped Binance’s gainers list.
Spark: Total SPK staked surpasses 500 million tokens
Spark announced on X that the total staked native token SPK has just surpassed 500 million tokens, reaching 509,969,466 tokens according to its displayed data. Users staking SPK can now participate in Season 4 of the Spark Points Program and earn points rewards. Previously, due to the rsETH security incident, funds continuously flowed out of Aave, while Spark absorbed some of the capital withdrawn by large whales/institutions from Aave.
A major whale borrowed 9,500 ETH on Spark and transferred it to Binance for sale to repay a loan on Aave.
According to on-chain analytics platform Lookonchain (@lookonchain), a whale with the wallet address starting with 0xD91D created a new wallet (address starting with 0xEb2a) and deposited 9,500 wstETH into Spark. Subsequently, this address borrowed 9,500 ETH (valued at approximately $22.68 million) and sent it to Binance for sale. Later, the whale withdrew USDE from Binance to repay the loan on Aave.
Aave Sees $15.1 Billion Outflow in Three and a Half Days, Total Deposits Drop to $30.7 Billion
According to on-chain analyst Yujin (@EmberCN), since the rsETH incident, funds have continuously flowed out of the Aave platform—approximately $15.1 billion in total over 3.5 days. Total deposits dropped from $48.5 billion pre-incident to $30.7 billion, representing a withdrawal of roughly one-third of funds; stablecoin outflows amounted to $4.5 billion. However, due to this capital outflow, the platform’s stablecoin deposit APY temporarily remained elevated at 13.4%. During the same period, Morpho saw outflows of approximately $1.5 billion, with total deposits declining from $11.7 billion to $10.2 billion. In contrast, Spark experienced逆势 fund inflows: its TVL rose from $1.9 billion to $3.2 billion—an increase of about $1.3 billion—partly driven by reallocation from whales such as Justin Sun and institutions withdrawing from Aave.
Aave’s TVL drops to $16.432 billion, with some funds flowing to Spark
According to on-chain analytics platform Lookonchain (@lookonchain), funds continue to flow out of Aave, with some of those funds moving to Spark. Data shows that Aave’s current total value locked (TVL) has dropped to $16.432 billion, a decrease of $9.94 billion; meanwhile, Spark’s TVL has risen to $4.552 billion, an increase of $825 million.

Spark: Tightening Collateral Scope Leads to Business Loss but Ensures Liquidity Safety
According to monetsupply.eth, Spark’s Strategy Lead, in a post on X, Spark has long maintained a relatively high borrowing interest rate cap for its SparkLend ETH market. Although this policy caused many users to migrate to Aave—resulting in substantial loss of business and revenue—the current market liquidity crisis has validated the prudence of this strategy. Presently, Aave is experiencing severe liquidity shortages across multiple chains—including Ethereum Mainnet, Arbitrum, Polygon Plasma, Mantle, and Base—with ETH borrowing utilization reaching 100%. This has prevented depositors from withdrawing funds and hindered normal liquidation of ETH collateral. He warns that if the current liquidity crunch persists, a 15–20% drop in ETH’s price could expose Aave to widespread bad debt—compounded by the potential impact of the rsETH vulnerability incident.
Spark Releases Q1 2026 Financial Report: $31.5M in Total Protocol Revenue and $6.91M in Net Protocol Revenue for the Period
DeFi protocol Spark announced its Q1 2026 financial report, reporting $31.5 million in total protocol-level revenue, $6.91 million in net protocol revenue, and a net surplus of $3.46 million. The treasury balance stood at $46.1 million at quarter-end, and approximately $986,000 worth of SPK tokens were repurchased. According to the report, distribution rewards revenue surpassed Spark Liquidity Layer (SLL) for the first time, becoming the largest source of net revenue: USDS-related savings vault distribution revenue totaled approximately $3.31 million; SLL generated $27.62 million in total revenue and $3.05 million in net protocol revenue on an average deployed capital of $1.93 billion; SparkLend’s quarterly reserve factor revenue amounted to $156,000. The report notes that, amid narrowing DeFi yield spreads, the protocol remained profitable on a monthly basis while maintaining prudent risk parameters.
Spark: Total Protocol Revenue Reaches $31.5 Million in Q1 2026
Spark announced on X platform that its financial report for the first quarter of 2026 has been released. The report shows total protocol revenue of $31.5 million, net protocol revenue of $6.91 million, and net protocol surplus of $3.46 million. Currently, the Spark Protocol treasury stands at $46.1 million, with $986,000 worth of SPK tokens repurchased. Due to narrowing lending spreads and the expanded scale of savings demand, distribution has surpassed the Spark Liquidity Layer as the primary revenue driver for the first time.

Spark Strategy Lead: ETH Market Faces Liquidity Risk Due to Potential 10-15% Cut in rsETH-Backed Loans
Odaily News, Spark's strategy lead monetsupply.eth posted on X, stating that as the stablecoin market begins to face a liquidity shortage, the situation is entering a more dangerous phase, in my opinion. Approximately 16.5% of the ETH market is backed by rsETH. If losses on rsETH-backed loans are shared across the mainnet and external chains, they could face a 10% to 15% cut in emode, with the remaining 2% to 3% cut left for ETH suppliers to flatten the umbrella structure. ETH suppliers naturally tend to exit as soon as possible to avoid this risk, so utilization is locked at 100%, and the borrowing rate is insufficient to incentivize the repayment of unrelated LST loops (wstETH, weETH) to release liquidity. Since ETH cannot be withdrawn, users who borrowed stablecoins like USDT using ETH as collateral cannot close their positions even when stablecoin borrowing rates rise, which cuts off the typical incentive mechanisms that maintain market health. Currently, there are two unhealthy incentives causing market utilization to be locked at 100%:1) ETH holders cannot close positions to maintain a healthy LTV, and liquidators cannot atomically withdraw or sell collateral. A drop in the ETHUSD price could lead to bad debt.2) Users supplying USDT, in order to exit their holdings, tend to maximize borrowing of other stablecoins. This position is currently generating positive yield (temporarily), so the exit cost is low; if conditions worsen, they can recover at least 75% of the position's value.The bottom line is that for these pooled/restaking lending markets to function properly, liquidity must be maintained at all costs. The recent weakening of the slope2 for Aave's maximum borrowing rate is having a negative impact and significantly increasing the risk of cascading market failure.
