Institutional demand is surging: U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $996.5M in weekly inflows ($1.8B over three weeks), while Ethereum ETFs added $275.8M, both marking their strongest levels since mid-January.

Amid this momentum, Strategy acquired 34,164 BTC ($2.54B), reaching a 9.5% YTD yield and increasing total holdings to 815,061 BTC ($61.5B). Also, Bitmine bought 101,627 ETH ($234.7M) and now holds 4,976,485 ETH ($11.49B).

Aave’s core markets have reached 100% utilization, leaving roughly $5B in USDT and USDC locked, following the rsETH exploit that triggered a sharp liquidity outflow.

1️⃣ What’s happening now:

– Withdrawals are effectively blocked, all liquidity is borrowed

– Any new liquidity gets instantly absorbed by bots

– Users can see funds, but can’t exit positions

2️⃣ What caused the lock:

Large holders moved first, withdrawing $5B–$6B+ within hours and draining pools.

As a result:

– ETH, USDT, USDC markets are fully utilized

– Late users are left without accessible liquidity

– Aave is now dealing with ~$200M in bad debt

3️⃣ User Response:

With no withdrawals available, users are forced into workarounds:

– Borrowing against their own deposits

– Using GHO, DAI, USDe to exit

– Accepting 10–25% losses

– Driving $300M+ in forced borrowing

Meanwhile, bots continue to front-run every small liquidity window.

The impact of the KelpDAO exploit has spread beyond one protocol, with multiple DeFi platforms recording notable 7-day TVL declines. The data shows both where the largest capital losses occurred and where relative damage was most severe.

Hyperliquid remains the clear leader, but April’s data shows the perp DEX market becoming more competitive as edgeX, Lighter, and GRVT continue to gain ground. At the same time, overall perp trading activity has been cooling since peaking in October 2025.

The fundraising round comes after NYSE parent ICE invested $600M in March, potentially bringing the latest round funding size to $1B.

Vercel has suffered unauthorized access to internal systems, tracing the attack to a compromise of Context ai, an AI tool used by one of its employees. The attacker used that access to take over the employee’s Google Workspace and reach internal environments, while Vercel says sensitive environment variables were not exposed.

The announcement came after a threat actor claiming to be linked to ShinyHunters posted that they were selling alleged Vercel database keys, source code, internal deployment access, and API tokens for $2 million. 

Slash has raised $100M in a Series C round led by Ribbit Capital and co-led by Khosla Ventures and Goodwater Capital, valuing the company at $1.4B.

Slash also introduced Twin, an AI private banker designed to automate financial workflows, including payments, expense tracking, and accounting operations.

Tempo has unveiled Zones, a new feature that lets companies run private, permissioned blockchains alongside its main network, designed for use cases like payroll, treasury, and settlements.

Zones operate as isolated execution environments connected to Tempo Mainnet, keeping transactions private while still allowing assets to move across the broader ecosystem, including liquidity pools and onramps.

Each Zone is managed by a trusted operator, such as a financial institution, which controls execution and access, while assets remain secured on the mainnet and withdrawable only by their owners.

Lately, big-name institutions like Visa, Stripe, and Standard Chartered have stepped in to take on validator roles within Tempo.
