Data: After the rsETH hacking incident, the demand for leveraged ETH has significantly cooled down

By: www.chaincatcher.com|05/18/2026 20:45:00

On-chain analyst Tom Wan posted on the X platform, stating that the current ETH utilization rate has fallen below 90%, and the lending APY has dropped to 1.9%. Since the rsETH LayerZero cross-chain bridge was attacked, the deposit scales of wstETH and weETH have decreased by approximately $1.2 billion and $1.76 billion, respectively.

As the wstETH/weETH circular leverage strategy returns to profitability, the market's focus shifts to whether the demand for ETH circular leverage will return or if funds will continue to observe or flow to protocols like Spark and Morpho.
