An integer overflow in the XRP Ledger’s payment engine could have let an attacker create spendable XRP, according to a disclosure report published on 9 October.

That leaves leverage and separately administered rewards central to whether extending the trade makes financial sense.The proposal concerns Pendle principal tokens, or PTs, on the X Layer network: holders of the token maturing Oct. 29 would move into a replacement maturing Feb. 25, 2027. In its Oct. 8 assessment, risk provider LlamaRisk said the February token’s on-chain yield alone fell short of USDT0, USDC and USDG borrowing costs. GHO was the…

Some Aave loans backed by yield-bearing collateral had narrow liquidation buffers in LlamaRisk’s Oct. 9 snapshots. Every top PT-AUSD supplier on Monad carried debt, while two syrupUSDC positions accounted for about 97% of supplied syrupUSDC on Arc.

If a borrower becomes eligible for liquidation, a liquidator supplies the borrowed stablecoin, receives collateral and then recovers cash from it. December PT-AUSD requires a sale before maturity. Arc syrupUSDC offers…
