According to Lookonchain, the Curve Finance founder currently has a total of 253.67 million CRV tokens in collateral and has a remaining debt of $42.7 million across four protocols, including Silo, Fraxlend, Inverse and Cream.
On Aug. 1, Egorov made headlines for his $100 million DeFi debt, as reports showed that further drops in the price of Curve DAO (CRV) tokens could potentially trigger liquidations and cause a DeFi implosion. Seeing the risks, the Curve founder made some moves to lower his debt and utilization rate back then.

The price of CRV tokens fell from $0.73 on July 30 to $0.50 on Aug. 1.
