This is absolutely SHOCKING 😱.


Someone just swapped $50,432,000 USDT for only $36,200 worth of $AAVE on Ethereum.
Yes… that means over $50.3M was lost in seconds.
Here’s what likely happened:
The user withdrew around $50M USDT from Aave and then tried to swap it through CoW Protocol (possibly using Aave’s interface).
But the trade had very high or no slippage protection, and the system routed the order through very low liquidity pools.
As a result, the swap executed at a terrible price and the user received only ~327 aEthAAVE (≈ $36K) instead of millions.
A small setting mistake → a $50M loss.
Lesson:
Always set tight slippage limits when making large trades.
