Ethereum's DeFi Hacks: Panic or Opportunity?

from The Daily News Now! Business

Ethereums DeFi sector suffered a record-breaking wave of hacks in April 2022, with over $625 million stolen across 30 incidents, many linked to North Korean groups. The KelpDAO bridge exploit, stealing nearly $292 million, triggered a massive withdrawal from Aave, causing Ethereums total value locked in DeFi to drop from $53.5 billion to $46 billion. The rush to unstake ETH is congesting the staking exit queue, raising concerns about Ethereums overall stability. However, the core Ethereum protocol remains unaffected, and past hacks havent tanked the entire chain. The situations future hinges on the number of exploits in the coming months.
