NEXO cost suffers on DeFi contagion fears
NEXO, which works as a security token in a cryptocurrency lending platform of the identical name, fell nearly 25% to $.61 one, its cheapest cost studying since The month of january 2021.
The huge intraday decline came as part of a wider downside move now, which extended NEXO’s losses to 40%.
An ongoing contagion within the crypto lending sector led to NEXO’s underperformance.
Traders fear that many DeFi/CeFi firms, that offer high yields to clients on their own cryptocurrency deposits, will default on their own financial obligations because of the wipeout of nearly $1.5 trillion in the crypto market in 2022.
The concerns still mount after the collapse of Terra, a $40 billion algorithmic stablecoin project, in May.
Per month later, Celsius Network, that provides clients as much as 18% yields, stopped withdrawals because of “extreme market conditions.” Its clients have pulled nearly half of the assets from the platform since October 2021, thus departing it about $12 billion by May 17 to satisfy debt obligations.
I’m certainly rooting for Celsius to not get liquidated. That’s customer money. And fuck the funds who’re hunting this stop-loss. I really hope they get rekt. #bitcoin

The fund could transfer the economical risks to the lenders whether it becomes insolvent.
“Lenders will bear the PnL [profit and loss] distinction between just how much they’re owed versus the things they enter liquidating their collateral,” noted Degentrading, an industry commentator noted for highlighting the Celsius Network’s liquidation issues.
He added:
“Which means defaults may cause SIGNIFICANT EQUITY erosion […] Not all lenders are created equal. Celsius may be the worst. It’s gone under. Nexo, I’m not sure. BlockFi is fairly bad too.”
However, Nexo states it presently doesn’t have contact with 3AC despite partnering using the fund more than a nonfungible token (NFT) lending product in December 2021. The firm asserts the partnership with 3AC didn’t remove.
All Nexo has ever completed with Three Arrows Capital is sign a partnership using their NFT fund, but it didn’t remove so we presently have $ business and exposure together.

What’s next for that NEXO token?
Nexo has 100% liquidity to satisfy its $4.96 billion price of debt obligations, based on U.S.-based audit firm Armanino. That enhances the firm’s possibility to avoid a liquidity crisis in case of an increasing withdrawal rate, unlike Celsius.
