According to Odaily, on-chain data shows that the Lista DAO core lock contract (Vote-escrowed Lista), labeled by Arkham, transferred funds to address 0xFEf45b8B5C52f442a8f866f8Ea9A10c4C739BF36 a few minutes ago. The address received approximately 7.023 million LISTA tokens, with a total value of around $616,800. Previously, after this address received LISTA tokens, it would transfer them to the Binance deposit address.Currently, the circulating supply of LISTA is 354.15 million, and the total amount received by this address accounts for approximately 1.98% of the circulating supply. LISTA is currently priced at $0.08722, up 3.04% in the past 24 hours, with a circulating market cap of approximately $30.88 million.
Odaily报道 According to Ai Yi monitoring, a Galaxy Digital OTC-related address (0x16F...1Fde) has deposited 15,000 ETH, worth $34.74 million, to an exchange. These funds originated from 38,000 ETH withdrawn from Aave a week ago, which was the day when Kelp DAO was attacked, causing Aave to potentially face bad debt.
According to on-chain analyst Ai Aunt (@ai_9684xtpa), the address 0xb5E…Fc24e deposited a total of 1.397 million UNI tokens—worth approximately $4.6 million—into three exchanges two hours ago. Notably, the Bybit deposit address has had multiple interactions with the DeFi crypto fund DeFiance Capital, which is an investor in both Aave and LayerZero—two entities closely linked to the recent Kelp DAO hack incident.
According to The Block, JPMorgan analysts noted in their latest report that ongoing DeFi security vulnerabilities and stagnant growth in total value locked (TVL) continue to constrain institutional enthusiasm for the DeFi sector. Recently, Kelp DAO’s cross-chain bridge suffered a major attack, during which the attacker minted $292 million worth of uncollateralized rsETH tokens and borrowed real ETH on Aave, resulting in approximately $230 million in bad debt. This caused DeFi TVL to evaporate by roughly $20 billion within several days. LayerZero and blockchain security researchers have attributed this attack to the North Korean hacker group Lazarus Group; some of the stolen funds have been frozen, while the rest remain in circulation. Analysts also pointed out that DeFi TVL denominated in ETH has remained range-bound for an extended period, raising market concerns about whether DeFi can achieve organic growth sufficient to support institutional adoption. Furthermore, following each security incident, users tend to shift funds into USDT as a safe-haven asset—yet this trend has not yet significantly driven USDT’s market capitalization growth.
Lido has released an update regarding the Kelp security incident, stating that its Earn-series vaults are working with the management team to address the issue, focusing on two key risk areas: rsETH exposure and tightening liquidity in lending markets. Lido emphasizes that its core staking protocol remains unaffected, and both stETH and wstETH remain secure and stable. Currently, only the EarnETH vault holds approximately 9% of its TVL in rsETH exposure; related deposits and withdrawals have been suspended by the management team pending resolution. Of the ~$70 million in ETH stolen in the earlier attack, roughly $70 million has already been recovered; asset recovery and loss allocation efforts are ongoing. To mitigate liquidity pressure, the management team has reduced leverage and optimized position structures, significantly decreasing wETH debt exposure. Should losses ultimately materialize, EarnETH will activate its $3 million “first-loss protection mechanism,” funded by the DAO. Other vaults remain unaffected: DVV and EarnUSD are operating normally. The GGV sub-vault is currently experiencing negative yields due to a combination of recursive staking strategies and rising borrowing rates, but active adjustments are underway. Users’ previously submitted withdrawal requests will be processed at pre-incident valuations.
According to on-chain analyst PeckShield (@PeckShieldAlert), the KelpDAO attacker has transferred ETH from Ethereum to Arbitrum via the Across Protocol, swapped it for USDT, and then routed the funds to TRON DAO via LayerZero.
Odaily News Wall Street investment bank Jefferies' analysis indicates that the approximately $293 million attack on Kelp DAO on April 18 exposed critical infrastructure risks, which may prompt traditional financial institutions to reassess the pace of blockchain and tokenization advancement.Jefferies believes the attacker triggered market sell-offs and liquidity stress by minting unbacked tokens and borrowing across platforms. The incident is suspected to be potentially linked to the Lazarus Group and also highlights the single point of failure in the validation mechanisms of cross-chain bridges. As institutions accelerate the tokenization of assets (such as funds, bonds, and deposits), related risks may cause some banks and asset management firms to temporarily pause deployments, prioritizing a review of system security. Especially in scenarios reliant on cross-chain infrastructure, security vulnerabilities could lead to market fragmentation, undermining the practical utility of tokenized assets.Despite short-term confidence being shaken, Jefferies still emphasizes that the long-term trend remains unchanged. Against the backdrop of regulatory progress and continuous infrastructure improvement, use cases like stablecoins still hold growth potential. However, the industry as a whole is still in its early development stage and requires time to enhance system robustness. (CoinDesk)
According to monitoring by PeckShield, the Kelp DAO attacker transferred 30,765 ETH (approximately $70.92 million) to a special address starting with 0x00000, suspected to be a burning action.
According to on-chain analyst Onchain Lens (@OnchainLens), Kelp DAO lost approximately $294 million in the cross-chain bridge exploit. As a result, $ZRO dropped from $2 to $1.40. A whale holding a long $ZRO position on HyperLiquid was partially liquidated, incurring a loss of $2.88 million. The whale still holds the position, with an unrealized loss exceeding $750,000 and a total loss of approximately $28.98 million.
According to CoinDesk, Kelp DAO’s LayerZero-based cross-chain bridge was attacked, with the attacker withdrawing 116,500 rsETH—worth approximately $292 million at current prices, or roughly 18% of its circulating supply. This incident has become the largest DeFi attack of 2026 to date. In response, Aave, SparkLend, and Fluid have frozen rsETH-related markets, and Lido Finance has suspended new deposits into its earnETH product. Kelp DAO stated it is jointly investigating the incident with LayerZero, auditing firms, and external security experts.
RaveDAO responded to recent market concerns regarding RAVE’s price volatility, denying that the team has participated in or driven the token’s price movements and labeling related rumors as false. The DAO emphasized its ongoing commitment to project development. RaveDAO stated that its current strategy is long-term oriented, with plans to enhance incentive alignment between the team and the community through mechanism design—including exploring token lock-up models triggered by price or performance metrics. The team also disclosed that, per its Token Release Schedule (TRS), it will sell portions of already-unlocked tokens at appropriate times to fund operational expenses, global hiring, marketing initiatives, and strategic acquisitions. This statement implies an expectation of sustained selling pressure. Additionally, RaveDAO confirmed its continued allocation of a portion of revenues to public welfare: it has pledged to donate 20% of event profits and a portion of future operational profits to charitable causes. The project reiterated that its core objective is to build an on-chain entertainment and music ecosystem and drive Web3 user growth—not short-term price performance.
According to the official announcement, JustLend DAO has officially completed its third JST token buyback and burn today. A total of 271,337,579 JST tokens were burned, representing a value of approximately $21.3 million; the tokens have been sent to the burn address. The funds for this burn were sourced from the protocol’s net earnings in Q1 2026 and accumulated prior earnings. As of April 16, 2026, the cumulative number of JST tokens burned has reached 1,356,228,332, accounting for 13.70% of the total supply. JustLend DAO will continue executing quarterly buyback-and-burn operations and regularly publish progress updates transparently to the community, jointly driving value empowerment.
According to on-chain analyst Ai Aunt (@ai_9684xtpa), Sun Yuchen deposited 300 million JST tokens to the HTX exchange one hour ago, valued at approximately $22.8 million. JST is the native governance token of JustLend DAO, TRON’s lending platform. This marks Sun Yuchen’s first JST-related activity in a month.
The Aave DAO has approved a governance proposal to provide Aave Labs with a total grant of $25,000,000 in stablecoins and 75,000 AAVE tokens, the latter vesting linearly over four years. The grant includes: 5 million units of aEthLidoGHO flowing from the Collector Contract within six months; 15 million units of aEthLidoGHO flowing from the Collector Contract within twelve months; and 75,000 units of AAVE flowing from the Ecosystem Reserve within forty-eight months. The proposal stipulates that any unspent funds remaining after the twelve-month grant period will be returned to the DAO treasury or otherwise disposed of per subsequent governance decisions.
