DYdX posted on social media last night that about $9 million from the dYdX v3 insurance fund was used to fill the gap in the YFI market liquidation. The v3 insurance fund still has sufficient funds, with remaining funds of $13.5 million. No user funds were affected, and the team is working hard to investigate the incident.As an immediate measure, dYdX has increased the initial margin requirements for markets with poor liquidity, including EOS, ZRX, AAVE, ALGO, ICP, XMR, XTZ, ZEC, SUSHI, RUNE, SNX, ENJ, 1INCH, CELO, YFI, UMA, and SUSHI.In addition, high-profit trading strategies have now been banned.
