Egorov began the process of closing his debt position on Aave by depositing 68 million $CRV tokens into the lending protocol called Silo, which was approximately worth $35.3 million. Following that, Egorov borrowed an additional $10.8 million worth of crvUSD, Curve’s decentralized stablecoin, within the last two days. He then used this borrowed crvUSD to swap for Tether’s USDT stablecoin and subsequently paid off the entire debt position on Aave.
$46 Million $CRV Token Sale
Previously, in August, Egorov had sold 106 million $CRV tokens over-the-counter (OTC) for $46 million in an effort to mitigate liquidation risks associated with outstanding debts on various DeFi platforms. This event garnered significant attention in the crypto space and led to significant declines in the $CRV token price.
