It is being confirmed that the MakerDAO governance community will only enable the Aave D3M if risks are no longer present. The proposal will set the Aave D3M target borrow rate to 0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There hasn\u2019t been too much discussion on the matter from the community yet, as the proposal was only launched less than 24 hours ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The few community members who have spoken about it have all been in favor of the change. They feel that there is simply too much risk to let things continue as they stand, and once some stability reappears, the change can be reversed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The proposal is a sign that the market is experiencing some terrible effects of the financial issues at Celsius Network. The impact is spilling over to other protocols and platforms on the DeFi market, and it may just turn worse yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Celsius Network\u2019s Financial Woes a Sign of the Times<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The stETH sell-offs that have been taking place initially led to worries that Celsius Network would not be able to pay back investors. Alameda Research was one of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/almeda-steth-selloff-celsius-trouble\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the first to redeem stETH<\/a> for ETH, and this incident was followed by many other seismic ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Celsius Network was also affected by the collapse of Terra, having been one of the biggest users of the Anchor Protocol. It removed <a href=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/celsius-network-pulls-out-500m-anchor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$535 million<\/a> from the lending and borrowing protocol, just as Terra\u2019s collapse began. From there, it\u2019s only been a downward spiral, and now it has suspended withdrawals and is looking at a possible <a href=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/celsius-network-is-exploring-possible-financial-restructuring-options-after-pausing-its-withdrawals-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">financial restructuring<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nexo has stepped in, saying that it was <a href=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/nexo-wants-to-acquire-celsius-portfolio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">willing to buy<\/a> Celsius Network\u2019s collateralized loan portfolio.
