## What happened

LlamaRisk proposed higher borrowing limits for Aave’s Ethereum and Arc Hubs on November 4, 2026.

## What changed

LlamaRisk proposed increasing Ethereum’s Core Main Spoke limits to 50,000,000 USDC and 30,000,000 USDT. It also proposed higher Maple Spoke limits.

## What did not change

LlamaRisk’s proposal establishes no execution. Ketju’s Aave verdict remains Not approved because the Hubs lack sufficient operating history.

## Confirmed

- LlamaRisk proposed increasing Ethereum’s Tokenization Spoke deposit limit from 1,000,000 USDC to 2,000,000 USDC.
- LlamaRisk proposed increasing Ethereum’s USDG Maple Spoke borrowing limit from 46,400,000 USDG to 55,000,000 USDG.
- LlamaRisk proposed increasing Arc’s USDC Maple Spoke borrowing limit from 41,600,000 USDC to 50,000,000 USDC.
- LlamaRisk reported 93.0% utilization for Ethereum’s Core Hub USDT on November 4, 2026.

## Still open

- The proposal does not establish which changes the Risk Stewards have executed.
- Ketju needs current Hub liquidity and executed limits to assess the remaining room for withdrawals.

## What it means for an advisor

- Ketju should review each proposed borrowing limit against the affected Hub’s liquidity and connected Spokes.
- Higher borrowing limits do not establish that holders can withdraw the proposed position size.
