Liquidations grow as the crypto market prints losses.
In a tweet today, PeckShieldAlert disclosed that a MakerDAO vault with collateral of $4.5 million in Ethereum and a $3.3 million DAI debt could be liquidated soon as the price of Ethereum tanks to $1284.

It bears mentioning that the entity or individual that owns the vault is unknown.
The information comes as the crypto markets continue to plummet heading into the week. Most major crypto assets lost over 5% value in the last 24 hours. Consequently, Coinglass data shows that Lichidari Bitcoin have exceeded $121 million in the last 24 hours, while Lichidari Ethereum have exceeded $172 million.
The current price movement may be attributed to market uncertainty as we await the Fed’s rate hike decision. It is worth noting that last week, the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) indicată that inflation had exceeded economists’ estimates by 20 basis points, rising 8.3% year on year in August. Consequently, economists now estimate that the Fed will raise rates by a whopping 100 basis points this week.
Despite the Ethereum Merge excitement last week, the asset price has continued to plummet. Notably, the Ethereum network successfully performed an impressive engineering feat last week, tranziția from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake with no network downtime, effectively cutting down energy consumption by 99.95%. However, the asset price has found little relief due to persistent inflation and US regulatory concerns.
Last Thursday, market analyst Ali Martinez, sharing his charts, predicted that the asset’s price is heading for a free fall back to $1,000.
