What if mispriced Symbiotic vaults cascade depegs across restaking tokens?
Mispriced Symbiotic restaking collateral triggering mass withdrawals and cascading LRT depegs is the same correlated-slashing wound as 641/642 but on the newer restaking layer — ETH -6.3% as liquid-restaking-token discounts force leveraged unwinds. Mirrors the stETH-mid-2022 depeg spiral. The forward risk is layered leverage: LRTs rehypothecate already-staked ETH, so a vault mispricing propagates through multiple derivative layers faster than a simple staking-derivative discount would.

What it would mean
If this plays out, it is a mixed shock. Mispriced restaking collateral in Symbiotic vaults triggers mass withdrawals, cascading slashing and depegs across LRT tokens. The trigger decomposes into signed root‑shocks — Crypto confidence ▼ · Crypto liquidity ▼ — which propagate through our causal graph to the markets below.
