News linked to both this project and an event.
According to Onchain Lens monitoring, a wallet that had been dormant for 1.6 years purchased 3,017 ETH for $7 million, at an average price of $2,320 per ETH. Over the past two days, this whale has acquired a total of 7,300 ETH, worth $17 million, and may continue increasing its holdings.
according to Onchain Lens monitoring, a Balancer attacker has exchanged 21,000 ETH for 617.43 BTC over the past three days, worth $48.72 million. The attacker currently still holds 1,000 ETH, worth $2.32 million, and may conduct further sell-offs.
according to on-chain analyst Ai Yi's monitoring, an address linked to the Balancer attacker has transferred 5,609 ETH, worth $13 million, to THORChain over the past 9 hours. In November 2025, Balancer was hacked for over $116 million, a incident with the same suspected culprit as the Aave attack, both pointing to the North Korean hacker group Lazarus Group. Both entities have recently been frequently using Tornado Cash for money laundering.
According to on-chain analyst Ai Aunt (@ai9684xtpa), a whale that participated in the ETH ICO—holding 1 million ETH—has transferred 10,000 ETH (valued at approximately $23.21 million) to a multi-signature address, marking its second such transfer within a week; these tokens may be sold in the near term. The receiving address has deposited a total of 12,001 ETH to OKX over the past two months, valued at $24.62 million in aggregate. Historically, ETH transferred to this address has subsequently been disbursed to exchanges in batches.
According to data from Trader T (@thepfund), yesterday’s Ethereum spot ETFs recorded net inflows of $23.38 million. By product: BlackRock’s staking-enabled ETHB saw a single-day inflow of $32.25 million, serving as the primary contributor; BlackRock’s ETHA experienced outflows of $7.71 million, and Fidelity’s FETH saw outflows of $1.16 million; Bitwise, 21Shares, Invesco, Franklin, VanEck, and Grayscale’s respective products all registered zero net flows for the day.
According to on-chain analyst Onchain Lens (@OnchainLens), the whale address 0x2D2E...36FC has again purchased 1.72 billion ASTEROID tokens for 200 ETH (approximately $463,500) within the past 7 hours. It now holds a cumulative total of 8.38 billion ASTEROID tokens, valued at approximately $2.27 million.
according to Onchain Lens monitoring, a whale "0x2D2D" spent 200 ETH ($463,500) to buy 1.72 billion ASTEROID in the past 7 hours. The whale currently holds a total of 8.38 billion ASTEROID, worth $2.27 million.
According to on-chain analyst Yujin (@EmberCN), the hacker who stole approximately $98 million worth of assets from Balancer last November has been continuously swapping ETH for BTC via THORChain. To date, the hacker has swapped a total of 14,300 ETH for 419.3 BTC (approximately $32.51 million). The hacker currently holds 7,700 ETH on the Ethereum chain and 419.3 BTC on the Bitcoin chain, with a combined value of approximately $50.4 million. Since the price of ETH has fallen significantly from around $3,600 at the time of the theft, the value of the hacker’s holdings has shrunk by nearly half—from the original $98 million.
According to on-chain analyst Yujin (@EmberCN), Aave covered $25,000 ETH (approximately $57.75 million) out of its own funds to address bad debt arising from the rsETH incident and spearheaded the “DeFi United” relief initiative. The total bad debt shortfall stands at 75,081 ETH; commitments for loans and donations totaling 69,576 ETH have already been secured, leaving a remaining gap of only 5,505 ETH. Multiple institutions—including LayerZero—have confirmed participation in the relief effort, though specific contribution amounts have not yet been disclosed. The shortfall is expected to be fully covered.
According to on-chain analyst Yujin (@EmberCN), the hacker who stole approximately $98 million in assets from Balancer last November is today exchanging ETH for BTC via THORChain. So far, 7,000 ETH have been swapped for 204.7 BTC—valued at roughly $15.88 million—and the process continues. Additionally, it has been disclosed that this address currently holds 15,000 ETH on Ethereum, valued at approximately $34.65 million, and 204.7 BTC on Bitcoin.
According to data from Trader T (@thepfund), yesterday’s Ethereum spot ETFs recorded a net outflow of $75.94 million. Fidelity’s FETH led with an outflow of $51.3 million, followed by BlackRock’s ETHA at $20.95 million, Grayscale’s ETHE at $10.9 million, 21Shares’ TETH at $9.24 million, and Bitwise’s ETHW at $3.31 million. Only Grayscale’s mini ETF ETH posted a net inflow of $19.76 million; all other products remained flat.
According to monitoring by crypto analyst @EmberCN, after Aave coordinated the establishment of "DeFi United" and received approximately 30,000 ETH in loans and 13,500 ETH in donations, the platform's capital outflows have shown signs of slowing.Data indicates that Aave's current total deposit scale stands at approximately $28.6 billion, a decrease of about $17.2 billion, or roughly 37%, compared to before the rsETH incident.
According to on-chain analyst Onchain Lens (@OnchainLens), the Balancer hacker’s address has reactivated after five months of dormancy, transferring 100 ETH (approximately $233,000) to a new wallet and beginning fund transfers via ThorChain. The hacker currently still holds 21,900 ETH, valued at approximately $51.13 million.
According to information on the governance forum page, Mantle plans to provide Aave with a loan of 30,000 ETH to help it address the non-performing loan risk triggered by the recent attack. According to analyst Yujin’s statistics, confirmed rescue funds now cover a shortfall of approximately 43,500 ETH.
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.
according to Onchain Lens monitoring, whale address 0x2D2D spent 368.23 ETH (approximately $857,000) over the past 9 hours to purchase 28.3 billion ASTEROID.The address now holds a total of 6.66 billion ASTEROID, valued at approximately $1.99 million.
According to information from the governance forum, Bybit’s public chain Mantle plans to lend 30,000 ETH to Aave to address the bad debt risks arising from recent security incidents.According to statistics from crypto analyst Ember (@EmberCN), the confirmed scale of bailout funds is estimated to cover a shortfall of approximately 43,500 ETH.
According to on-chain analyst Ember (@EmberCN), the rsETH incident on April 18 resulted in a funding shortfall of approximately 68,900 ETH (around $160 million): the hacker collateralized rsETH to borrow 99,600 ETH; after Arbitrum recovered 30,700 ETH, the remaining funds were fully converted by the hacker into BTC. The incident has now entered the remediation phase. Aave is coordinating the establishment of a “DeFi United” relief fund, which has so far received cumulative donations totaling 13,500 ETH (approximately $31.45 million). Donors include Lido Finance (2,500 stETH), ether.fi Foundation (5,000 ETH), Aave founder Stani Kulechov (5,000 ETH), Golem Foundation (1,000 ETH), as well as LayerZero and Ink Foundation (amounts undisclosed).
