🚨 UPDATE: Who’s exposed to the Binance hack so far

Limited exposure:
- Wintermute: exposure is under 20% of net equity. CEO Evgeny Gaevoy sees no disruption to operations in any scenario.
- GSR: exposure is under 5% of net equity, with no material disruption to business as usual expected. The firm says it's working with contacts at Binance to understand the issue.

No direct exposure:
- Ethena: all collateral with exchange exposure sits with off-exchange custodians, not directly on exchanges.
- Lido: stETH is not affected, and staking and withdrawals are running normally. Lido Earn has no direct exposure.
- Aave: contracts are unaffected and positions remain overcollateralized. As a precaution, all DAO-operated V3 and V4 markets are frozen. New deposits and borrows are paused, but withdrawals and repayments still work.
