According to Bitpush, the price increase in DAI caused massive liquidations at DeFi protocol Compound. The protocol liquidated $103 million worth of collateral. This also caused $8 million worth of liquidations at dYdX.

The liquidations occurred because DAI's price momentarily increased by 30% on Coinbase (source of Compound's price oracle), which led to under-collateralized loans on the protocol. The increased DAI price also increased the value of DAI borrowed on Compound, as compared to the collateral provided.
