Address Buys YT reUSD, Pushes Implied Yield to 20%, Then Dumps, Triggering $36.39M Liquidation on Morpho
AI take
The episode illustrates how a single actor can move an implied yield in a thin Pendle-style market and force a liquidation cascade on a lending protocol. The damage is not confined to the trader: Morpho's risk parameters, oracle treatment of YT tokens and the solvency of counterparties on the other side of that liquidation are all implicated. Whether this proves a one-off or exposes a repeatable attack surface in how DeFi lenders price yield-token collateral is the open question.
