Spark: The delisting of rsETH assets in January had caused strong dissatisfaction among ETH leveraged users, but it has now been proven to be a prudent strategy

The head of the Spark Protocol strategy, monetsupply.eth, posted on platform X stating that in January of this year, low-usage assets like rsETH were removed and collateral and functionality were continuously tightened. This move sparked strong dissatisfaction among "ETH leveraged" users at the time.
Additionally, Spark has long set a high upper limit on interest rates in the ETH lending market, transferring some business and revenue to Aave over the past year (where its ETH borrowing rate once dropped to 10% or below). However, in the current market crisis environment, this strategy has proven to be more prudent. Currently, SparkLend still maintains sufficient ETH withdrawal liquidity, while Aave has experienced liquidity tightness and even "lock-up" situations in the Ethereum mainnet and multi-chain markets like Arbitrum and Base.
monetsupply.eth further warned that since ETH is the core collateral asset, when market utilization reaches 100%, collateral liquidation will not be able to execute normally. The depletion of liquidity not only affects the depositor experience but may also pose systemic risks. In the current situation of insufficient liquidity in Aave, a 15%-20% drop in ETH prices could lead to significant bad debt accumulation (in addition to the potential impact of the rsETH incident).
