On November 7th, the DeFi research and risk management company Gauntlet previously recommended that the Ethereum lending protocol Compound implement a temporary emergency pause on the following standalone borrowing market Comet in v3, which includes: USDC on Ethereum, USDS on Ethereum, and USDT on Ethereum. The proposal has been approved, and withdrawals for the USDC and USDS lending markets were resumed on November 6th.
