'Fat-Finger' Fail? Cardano Whale Torches $6M After Hitting Illiquid USDA Pool
A dormant Cardano wallet resurfaced to swap 14.4 million ADA (about $6.9 million) for 847,695 USDA, a little‑known stablecoin, paying more than $8 per USDA and wiping out roughly $6 million in value. The massive order ripped USDA’s price up to $1.26 on Cardano DEXs before liquidity normalized and the price fell back to around $1.04. The trade, flagged by on‑chain analyst ZachXBT, illustrates how a single market‑order‑style swap can overwhelm an illiquid pool, causing extreme slippage and a costly mispricing.
