Aave V3 Risk Stewards Cut sUSDe Supply Cap 90%, Raise syrupUSDT and PT-AUSD Caps

Aave Governance Forum · Aug 27, 2026 4:25 PM EDT

LlamaRisk and Aave Risk Stewards have proposed sharply reducing the sUSDe supply cap on Aave V3 Monad from 10M to 1M, a 90% contraction, while doubling the syrupUSDT cap to 100M and doubling the PT-AUSD-8OCT2026 cap to 40M. The PT-AUSD pool is notable for its extreme health factor compression, with a median borrower health factor of 1.03, suggesting the pool is operating near liquidation thresholds across its user base.

Armada's crypto desk uses Aave parameters as a market reference for collateral haircuts and liquidity depth. A 90% cap cut on sUSDe signals that Aave risk managers view current sUSDe liquidity or credit risk as materially elevated, which should flow through to Armada's own LTV and haircut assumptions if sUSDe appears in counterparty portfolios. The PT-AUSD health factor clustering near 1.03 also flags contagion risk if AUSD or related assets experience price stress before the October 2026 maturity.

Suggested action Reassess sUSDe exposure limits on crypto desk given Aave's 90% cap reduction and review PT-AUSD health factor concentration risk.
