Should DeFi Platforms Block 'Insane' Trades? - Uneasy Money

Description

A mispriced perp on trade.xyz swings 19% on a bad oracle print, and the platform reimburses users just this once, never again, they say. EtherFi's Mike Silagadze argues that is not good enough: platforms have an ethical, brokerage-style duty to block trades this "wildly insane" before they happen. Kain Warwick pushes back and digs into where that responsibility actually starts, plus Sonya Kim's real-world fix for oracle deviations from her time at Steakhouse.
