🔧 Kelp DAO confirms that rs$ETH has fully recovered after 5 weeks of damage control following the $293 million attack.
According to the latest announcement, the final batch of 20,373.7 rsETH has been transferred to the cross-chain bridge system, officially completing the recovery plan. Currently, the mint, redeem, and reward distribution functions are all back to normal operation.

📊 The attack on April 18 not only impacted Kelp DAO but also created a domino effect across the entire DeFi ecosystem. The hackers used a large amount of rsETH as collateral to borrow WETH, causing the lending protocol to incur a bad debt of around $190 million.

👀 Although the recovery process has been completed, the total value locked (TVL) in the DeFi market has not yet returned to pre-incident levels, indicating that the effects of large-scale hacks still linger.

The hackers from Kelp DAO have almost laundered all of the $220 million stolen funds.

The method is classic: they used mixers to sever on-chain tracking, then transferred the funds across chains using cross-chain bridges. Once the funds are on a different chain, tracking becomes exponentially harder.

$220 million, nearly impossible to recover. This is a heavy blow to DeFi security.

The issue isn't just a single project's security flaws, but the overall security standards of the entire DeFi ecosystem are still woefully inadequate. Many projects launch without thorough audits, only to scramble for solutions after a breach.

Takeaway for average users: Don't put all your assets in one protocol. Diversify your risk, use cold wallets, and avoid signing on suspicious links—these old adages become particularly crucial every time something goes wrong.

ETH: 🚀 Arbitrum just froze $70M worth of ETH in response to the KelpDAO hack ✅

The attacker moved over $176M across multiple chains, with Bitcoin becoming their new playground. 💾

By intervening early, Arbitrum prevented roughly 29% of the stolen funds from entering the laundering pipeline 🔄

A race against time ensued as investigators tracked the thief's rapid moves through THORChain and other decentralized protocols 🔮

Lazarus Group is suspected to be behind this brazen move, using complex tactics to obscure their tracks. 🔍

Is the remaining $176M still in play? Let's watch closely! 💬

Will these funds find a safe haven or will they slip through our fingers? 🛑

Are we overthinking this situation or is there real risk here? 👇

Arbitrum Seals a Win, but the Hunt Continues 🛡️

Arbitrum has frozen 30,766 ETH worth over $70 million linked to the KelpDAO exploit, preventing roughly 29% of stolen funds from entering the laundering pipeline. However, the attacker is still moving assets across multiple chains and protocols, including Bitcoin. This high-level operational discipline hints at a sophisticated threat actor behind the scenes.

The Lazarus Group has been linked to previous crypto thefts using similar tactics. With over $176 million already laundered through various decentralized bridges, the race against time continues for blockchain investigators and law enforcement agencies.

Kelp DAO hackers have pretty much completed their money laundering, with around $220 million of unfrozen funds nearly all out of the tracking range.

In April's Kelp DAO cross-chain bridge attack, about $292 million in assets were stolen, and aside from the roughly $71 million in ETH that was frozen, the rest, around $220 million, has basically been laundered. The attackers used privacy tools like THORChain, Wasabi, Tornado Cash, and Umbra to execute multiple rounds of cross-chain and mixing operations.

Why it matters: The $292 million stolen is one of the largest DeFi attacks of 2026, with only 24% of the funds frozen, making on-chain tracking a significant challenge.

Kelp DAO Alert: Starting June 15th, cross-chain support for rsETH across multiple chains will be halted.\n\nIf you're holding or using $rsETH, the key is not to panic, but to check three things: \n1) Which chain your assets are currently on; \n2) Whether you still rely on cross-chain transfers; \n3) If your related DeFi positions, liquidity, or exit strategies will be impacted.\n\nThese kinds of adjustments usually affect cross-chain experience and capital allocation efficiency, especially for users still frequently moving across multiple chains. It's advised to review the official guidelines ahead of time to avoid discovering limitations on bridging or migrating after support has ceased.\n\n#KelpDAO #Restaking #DeFi

Kelp DAO Announcement: Starting June 15th, cross-chain support for rsETH across multiple chains will be discontinued.

The most immediate impact of this change for users is that cross-chain pathways, liquidity routing, and subsequent asset operations may no longer function as they did before. Users holding or utilizing $rsETH are advised to check their respective chains, bridging records, and related DeFi positions in a timely manner to avoid encountering operational limitations or liquidity issues after support ceases.

Stay tuned for official updates; don’t wait until you need to cross-chain to find out the entry points are closed. #KelpDAO #DeFi #Restaking

Kelp DAO Alert: Starting June 15th, cross-chain support for rsETH on multiple chains will be halted. Users holding or utilizing the rsETH cross-chain functionality are advised to check their asset networks, cross-chain pathways, and related DeFi positions in advance to avoid restricted operations down the line.

🚨 **Kelp officially terminates rsETH cross-chain bridging**

KelpDAO has announced the halt of rsETH cross-chain services across 20 networks. Asset backing remains secure, but users who haven’t bridged in time need to follow the recovery process to retrieve their assets.

**Recovery Process:**
1️⃣ Burn rsETH on the source chain
2️⃣ Pay a fixed fee of 100 USDC on the Ethereum mainnet
3️⃣ Send the transaction records of both operations to the official email

The project team will settle quarterly and return rsETH to the Ethereum mainnet. Movement ecosystem users have a separate process, ensuring the same safety mechanisms.

⏰ The recovery window is open until **June 15, 2027**

⚠️ Requests should only be submitted via the officially designated email; beware of spoof channels

Users holding rsETH should act promptly.

#KelpDAO #DeFi

Kelp DAO Reminder: Starting June 15, 2026, cross-chain support for $rsETH across multiple chains will be discontinued.

Users holding or utilizing the rsETH cross-chain functionality are advised to check the network of their assets, bridging paths, and subsequent operational arrangements in advance to avoid liquidity issues, transfer limitations, or interaction restrictions as the deadline approaches. For specific affected chains and handling methods, please refer to the official announcement from Kelp DAO.

Such adjustments in cross-chain support usually impact the flow of funds, so users with related positions should prioritize risk assessment. #KelpDAO #DeFi #cross-chain

🔥 At 3am UTC, $1.1B in Bitcoin trading volume sparked a 0.77% price surge, as the market sentiment shifted from fear to cautious optimism, with a neutral RSI of 54.5 and a bullish MACD crossover.

📊 As the DeFi lending market grapples with the KelpDAO fallout, Curve founder Michael Egorov proposes a market-based bad debt recovery model, sparking debates on #DeFiLending, #BadDebtRecovery, and #KelpDAO. With Bitcoin's price at $63,406 and Ethereum at $1,671, the market is watching closely for a potential turnaround, fueled by the bullish sentiments of top traders, who are net long 55.0% on BTC and 55.5% on ETH.

💡 The twist lies in the fact that this model could potentially replace traditional bailout methods, giving more power to the market and less to institutions, as smart money signals from Solana's CUMROCKET and getmeajob wallets show a max increase of 0.7885% and 0.1924%, respectively.

❓ Will this new model be the catalyst for a #DeFi revolution, or will it succumb to the same pitfalls that led to the KelpDAO incident, and what does this mean for the future of Bitcoin and Ethereum, as the market awaits the next move with bated breath?

From 2025 onward, crypto hacks have not only become more frequent, but also significantly more expensive for exchanges, DeFi projects, and investors.
This is reported by Visual Capitalist.
The largest crypto hacks
The Bybit breach in February 2025 became the biggest crypto theft in the entire history of the market. As a result of the hack, the attackers stole about $1.5 billion—this is a record crypto hack in the history of the industry.
The hackers were able to gain access to a third-party developer’s workstation and discreetly embed malicious code into the transaction processing workflow. As a result, the system displayed transfers as legitimate, although in reality the funds were being redirected to the attackers’ wallets.

The second and third largest crypto hacks occurred in April 2026. These involve cases with KelpDAO and Drift Trade.
In the case of KelpDAO, the hackers attacked a third-party system that checked transactions between different blockchains. The attackers managed to:
forge a collateral deposit;
create the appearance of available collateral;
gain access to approximately $292 million in crypto assets.
In effect, the system “believed” that on one blockchain the real assets were locked, and allowed the withdrawal of the actual funds to another

🚨🛡️ AAVE'S RESPONSE: They propose a four-layer bridge risk framework after the KelpDAO exploit.
Security in the DeFi ecosystem is taking a bold step forward. Following the recent attack vector that hit the KelpDAO restaking protocol, Aave has put forth a governance proposal to implement a groundbreaking Four-Layer Bridge Risk Framework. 📈⚖️
The defense barriers proposed by the Risk Committee:
* 1. Strict Authentication: Decentralized multi-signature validation to safeguard interchain messaging.
* 2. Dynamic Limits: Automatic supply caps to prevent external exploits from contaminating global liquidity pools. 💸❌
* 3. Automatic Circuit Breakers: Immediate market freeze of an asset if price anomalies or massive token emissions are detected in milliseconds.
* 4. Collateral Isolation: Automatic degradation of bridged assets if their real on-chain backing shows accounting discrepancies.
⚠️ Vital OpSec Alert: Exploits on external protocols highlight the importance of auditing your own wallets. If you've used bridge platforms recently, make sure to access verified security dApps and revoke unlimited spending permissions. If you're moving funds to shield yourself from volatility in your Web3 Wallet within @Binance, always check the addresses character by character manually to completely neutralize address poisoning attacks. 🔒
Is this framework the new ultimate security standard that Web3 needs to eliminate bridge hacks? I want to hear your thoughts below! 👇

Arkham Intelligence published a report examining Lazarus Group’s crypto laundering network and operational tactics between 2017 and 2026.
According to the research, Lazarus-linked actors were tied to more than $6 billion in stolen cryptocurrency across exchange breaches, ransomware campaigns, bridge exploits, and decentralized finance attacks.
Arkham said North Korean-linked actors accounted for more than 70% of crypto exploit losses recorded so far in 2026.
The report described how Lazarus allegedly moves stolen assets through cross-chain bridges, mixers, centralized exchanges, OTC brokers, and fragmented wallet activity to complicate blockchain tracing efforts.
THORChain was identified as a frequently used bridge for converting stolen assets into Bitcoin. Arkham also referenced mixers including Sinbad.io and YoMix, along with Russian exchanges and Chinese OTC brokers involved in cash-out activity.
The research examined the April 2026 Drift Protocol ($DRIFT ) exploit, where attackers allegedly spent months building trust with employees through conferences, deposits exceeding $1 million, and fake partnership activity. Arkham said Lazarus later used pre-authorized Solana transactions to drain about $285 million from the protocol.
The report also covered the February 2026 KelpDAO exploit. According to Arkham, attackers compromised LayerZero RPC nodes and forged cross-chain messages, allowing the withdrawal of 116,500 $rsETH valued at about $292 million.
Arkham concluded that Lazarus continues adapting its laundering methods and attack strategies as blockchain tracing systems become more advanced.

🔥North Korean hackers continue to expand and have their sights set on the Defi sector 👈

This is quite surprising, as in less than three weeks #hackers linked to North Korea managed to deliver two major blows. The first was the protocol #DRIFT on Solana, and now the
protocol #KelpDAO . These hackers continue to evolve by applying different techniques to detect vulnerabilities.

Both events caused significant losses for the sector #cripto . Over $500 million dollars were diverted through the vulnerabilities of Drift and kelpdao.

Coincidence or targeted attacks on a specific sector? According to some analysts, these two incidents point to something more "organized". These attacks are becoming more frequent, and it’s no longer about hacks on exchanges or code failures, but now they are targeting the infrastructure of the sector.

But it doesn't stop there, as the repercussions of exploiting vulnerabilities are not limited to a single dapp, but extend to other protocols, as recently occurred with kelpdao and #AAVE .

With the recent events, do you feel safe using any Defi protocol?
