Good Morning Lions,
If you open a long on leverage, the exchange holds your collateral and dumps it once price drops enough to eat it. Those forced sales push BTC lower, which trips the next batch of longs.. rinse, repeat. Leverage = fuel for every leg down. BUT, a cascade this lopsided burns through MOST of that fuel at once, and I believe the forced selling is largely done! I'd change my mind if leverage rebuilds before spot buyers show up.

If Kava names a root cause and it really stays inside Kava Lend, I believe the damage stops at KAVA. If it can't explain the bridge path, every bridged token on Binance Smart Chain deserves a harder look from you. Stay sharp, Lions 🦁 — Khal
