Out of an abundance of caution, rsETH remains frozen across Aave V3 and V4 and exposure to the incident is capped. WETH reserves also remain frozen across affected markets including
· 2026-04-19T08:26:24+00:00OK — Kelpdao hacker, how much you want? Let’s just talk. With KelpDAO’s help, of course. It’s simply not worth it to sacrifice both Aave and KelpDAO and let them go down over this hack. You can’t spend $300 million anyway.
· 2026-04-19T16:34:28+00:00I don't think people realize how bad things are at @aave right now. All core markets are at 100% utilization, that includes $3 bil in USDT and $2 bil in USDC stuck! That means you CAN'T WITHDRAW your money! A long post on why and how we ended up here. When the rsETH
· 2026-04-19T08:05:59+00:00ALERT: $AAVE is now down -19% today after a $292M Kelp DAO rsETH exploit triggered a full-blown liquidity crisis. Aave's ETH pool just hit 100% utilization. That means one thing: there's almost no ETH left to withdraw. Here's what happened: Attacker drained 116,500 rsETH
· 2026-04-19T14:19:22+00:00AAVE broke. ETH depositors cannot withdraw the ETH so they are borrowing stables to "withdraw" funds. So now stable depositors cannot withdraw either, so they'll probably borrow other assets, and those lenders won't be able to withdraw either. This is a full on run on AAVE.
· 2026-04-19T17:07:47+00:00Feel bad for the $AAVE team honestly. They did everything right: Clean contracts. Proper audits. Tight risk framework. Umbrella safety module live and funded. And still got caught holding $196M of bad debt because a bridge they don't control got drained. Building in DeFi
· 2026-04-19T14:42:17+00:00So, to recap, the sentiment on the TL is: - DeFi is dead: don't bother with it, don't deposit anywhere, 'just use aave' is dead, off-ramp and at best park with ibkr or coinbase - The age of crypto is over: we're no longer early, it's the instutitionals era, coins have infinite
· 2026-04-19T09:51:58+00:00JUSTIN SUN OFFERED TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE $292M KELPDAO HACKER Sun posted on X telling the hacker, "How much do you want? Let’s just talk", adding it's not worth sacrificing both Aave and KelpDAO. Sun argues the hacker can't realistically spend $300M of stolen crypto anyway.
· 2026-04-19T11:40:47+00:00Due to the KelpDAO exploiter borrowing over 82,600 $ETH ($195M) from #Aave using $RSETH as collateral, bad debt has appeared on #Aave. Many whales have withdrawn funds from #Aave, causing its TVL to drop from $26.396B to $20.114B — a decline of $6.28B. Major withdrawals

· 2026-04-19T13:00:59+00:00So basically if kelp hacker had decided to borrow USDC, USDC lenders would be potentially cooked? Yeah it's over for Aave
· 2026-04-19T23:12:09+00:00Shipped in hours by the @1inch engineering team: an escape route for stuck @aave WETH suppliers. aWETH → any token, one click. Best execution via wstETH (lowest price impact) routed through @0xfluid — untouched by the rsETH bad debt. 1,000 aWETH exits at -2.21%, not -23%. No
· 2026-04-19T16:58:22+00:00Kelp DAO got drained for $292M yesterday. Biggest DeFi hack of the year. Aave didn't get touched. Their contracts are fine. But someone used the stolen $rsETH as collateral on Aave to borrow $wETH against it, and now Aave is sitting on $196M of bad debt. $6.6 billion exited
· 2026-04-19T04:17:41+00:00Lido stETH is losing its peg. Monumental liquidations are about to happen. AAVE ETH markets are illiquid at over $6 billion. ETH borrow rates on Fluid and Maker at >100% APR. This is a systemic disaster of epic proportions. Liquid staked tokens like rsETH were a mistake.

· 2026-04-19T16:36:39+00:00Crypto saw one of a major DeFi crisis, marked by the fallout from AAVE’s ETH exploit, the rsETH hack at KelpDAO, negotiations led by Justin Sun, and widespread panic across the decentralized finance space. Just a few hours ago, something huge shook the crypto world, and people

· 2026-04-19T17:50:26+00:00The Aave situation is bad and getting worse. Multiple other pools are hitting 100% utilization, leaving lenders stuck and the protocol at risk of further bad debt.

· 2026-04-19T05:48:55+00:00Due to the KelpDAO exploit creating bad debt on #Aave, $AAVE has dropped over 18% today. Whales are dumping $AAVE. • smaugvision sold 20,015 $AAVE for 2.06M $USDC at $103 avg. • Whale 0xFC56 sold 20,000 $AAVE for 2.05M $USDC at $103 avg. • Whale 0xA2E4 sold 19,666 $AAVE

I told you Bybit would be hacked and even told you they would blame it on North Korea months before it was hacked and blamed on North Korea. Unfortunately I told you AAVE was most likely going to get REKTd back in August and it would be retail who
· 2026-04-19T08:10:01+00:00Yesterday I had a moment of panic, thinking AAVE had been compromised. Now I’m really unsure what to do with my staked assets. This is really bad for DeFi and its adoption by institutional investors.
· 2026-04-19T13:34:26+00:00$AAVE was stolen, leaving me deeply disappointed with DeFi as well. In the future, when traditional finance moves on-chain, DeFi will only play a supporting role.
· 2026-04-19T06:52:57+00:00Aave Sees $5.4B ETH Outflows as rsETH Exploit Raises Concerns According to Lookonchain, the Kelp DAO exploit has left Aave saddled with bad debt after the attacker deposited rsETH to drain ETH. This has sparked a massive whale exodus, with over $5.4 billion fleeing the protocol
· 2026-04-19T05:07:23+00:00Today, my wife gave me a real tongue-lashing. The whole thing started like this: At the beginning of the year, I gave her a total of $3.6 million USD as pocket money. Then she dumped it all into AAVE. She figured AAVE was the only stable option, just sit back and watch the
· 2026-04-19T15:27:53+00:00we're now seeing some negative secondary effects of illiquidity in Aave stablecoin markets (in this example, Aave Core USDT on Ethereum) because users cant withdraw due to 100% utilization, there has been a ~$300 million increase in borrowing with USDT collateral in just the
· 2026-04-19T15:06:56+00:00For anyone stuck as a WETH supplier on @aave : the secondary market works. 1,000 aEthWETH → 980.38 WETH via @1inch . ~2% discount. Not a great exit, but an exit. The discount is what the market thinks the haircut will be. 1inch.com/swap
· 2026-04-19T17:22:40+00:00DeFi is a failed experiment if even Aave is getting fucked. $5b stuck in Tether and USDC and the contagion hasn't even started.
· 2026-04-19T09:31:32+00:00Brother Sun, the god of wealth management Aave seems to have bad debts, so let's deposit into Spark, which has even lower safety risks.

· 2026-04-19T21:16:53+00:00Ethereum Foundation has $48M deposited into Aave on Ethereum. Zero haircut on Ethereum for Aave is definitely a better outcome for EF, which only recently deposited into 'low-risk DeFi' after years of avoiding it. Wonder if this incident changes calculations at the EF.
· 2026-04-19T20:50:50+00:00We shouldn't read the Aave incident as if it's just a simple hack case; there are serious security vulnerabilities in the system. It's not normal for protocols to get hacked this frequently. DeFi is Ethereum's load-bearing column; if DeFi collapses, it won't be good for ETH
· 2026-04-19T01:50:04+00:00Due to the KelpDAO exploit, the attacker deposited $RSETH into #Aave to borrow $ETH, creating bad debt on #Aave. Many whales have already rushed to withdraw their $ETH from #Aave. $ETH Utilization Rate on Aave has now reached 100%.
· 2026-04-19T05:29:16+00:00It might not be that simple though. According to Aave docs, the junior tranche, aka Umbrella depositors, are supposed to strictly be exposed to the chain they are staking on. That means that an aWETH Umbrella staker on Ethereum mainnet shouldn’t be punished for an unbacked LRT

· 2026-04-19T10:54:50+00:00CRASH: $AAVE is down -20% today after a $292M Kelp DAO exploit triggers a liquidity crisis.
· 2026-04-19T10:14:58+00:00The KelpDAO hacker stole $300M but can't spend it easily Justin Sun just called it out. Here's why: • 116,500 $rsETH: flagged, frozen, tracked across 20 chains • $Aave, Compound, Euler all paused exposure instantly • ZachXBT had the wallets public within hours • Tornado
· 2026-04-19T19:33:40+00:00This is the right answer rsETH on ethereum is fully backed Now kelp should enable withdraws, and aave unfreeze so an orderly unwind can happen and trapped eth can flow freely Meanwhile compensation plan, rca, etc. should be focused on the bridge No need to brick the entire
· 2026-04-19T09:31:51+00:00It is highly unlikely that @aave will collapse entirely, but it is currently facing its most severe existential test since inception. 1/ Aave’s TVL sits at approximately $27.3 billion. The debt of $177 million represents roughly 0.65% of the total assets managed by the protocol.
· 2026-04-19T11:30:00+00:00ALERT: Aave is in a full-blown liquidity crisis. Right now. $292M Kelp DAO exploit. Stolen rsETH deposited as collateral on Aave. $236M borrowed against unbacked assets. $280M in bad debt that cannot be recovered. ETH pool utilization: 100%. Almost no ETH left to withdraw.
· 2026-04-19T18:13:08+00:00This wave of the Aave hacker incident actually hurts ETH the most, not Aave—the only foundational DeFi narrative has collapsed. Over the past couple of days, I chatted with a friend who's done projects spanning both AI and Crypto. His advice was: "Stay away from DeFi for the
· 2026-04-19T12:20:48+00:00there's currently no stablecoin liquidity on aave v3 on ethereum and borrow rates for USDC and USDT have spiked to 15% expect some large withdrawals across multiple chains in the coming hours as aave stablecoin borrowers will start unwinding their cross-chain yield strategies
· 2026-04-19T13:09:26+00:00The hack that occurred in $AAVE dealt a major blow to DeFi. As if the crime and filth weren't enough, they're constantly hacking good projects too—how many is this in a month, man?

· 2026-04-19T11:54:28+00:00Holy shit, Aave TVL dropped more than $6B today
· 2026-04-19T14:03:13+00:00Rumor mill saying TokenLogic pushed extremely hard to get rsETH listed as collateral on Aave e-mode because they had KelpDAO as a treasury management client. Kelp stole code from Renzo, has a past of infinite mint bugs, and should not have been a part of e-mode.
· 2026-04-19T01:57:19+00:00Defi sat night nightmare now is next level if you are in any of the protocol below better just withdraw Layerzero (thats the root of the hack) Aave V3 (might be in a bad debt) Mellow meta-vault on Lido Compound Fluid Euler Beefy strategies Yearn
· 2026-04-19T01:41:20+00:00aave's $400m safety module has never been slashed in the protocol's entire history. $177m in bad debt from the rsETH exploit is forcing the first activation vote in 72 hours. rational stakers will front-run slashing by unstaking and selling AAVE before the vote closes. that's
· 2026-04-19T15:45:14+00:00I'd be shocked if even a tiny bit of green showed up without sparking a crisis right away. Now in crypto, there's an Aave crisis too. All the big fish are panicking and pulling their money out of DeFi. Let me sum it up briefly: The folks who found Kelp DAO's vulnerability minted
· 2026-04-19T17:57:42+00:00NEW: @0xQuit SAYS "THE AAVE SITUATION IS BAD AND GETTING WORSE. MULTIPLE OTHER POOLS ARE HITTING 100% UTILIZATION, LEAVING LENDERS STUCK AND THE PROTOCOL AT RISK OF FURTHER BAD DEBT"

· 2026-04-19T15:24:18+00:00All ETH that was staked via frontier will be available to the Aave DAO roughly a week from now. The clearer the situation gets the more optimistic I get about aave V3 wETH core depositors. Still a few moving parts but worst case seems behind us. I’ll let the ones currently in
· 2026-04-19T09:06:42+00:00Massive test for the #DeFi ecosystem with $AAVE hitting the 100% mark. More than $275 million withdrawn from KelpDAO due to an hack. Ultimately, these events are negative in the short-term, but positive in the long-term as the ecosystems will ultimately end up being even more

· 2026-04-19T14:14:15+00:00What's going on with Aave? Let me explain it simply, friends. The hacker exploited a vulnerability in the Kelp DAO bridge and minted around 116,500 fake rsETH. Then, they used these assets as collateral on Aave. Unaware of this exploit on Kelp DAO, Aave accepted these tokens
· 2026-04-19T13:42:34+00:00I swapped my $LTC for more $AAVE, which has dropped further. By adding some cash on top, I brought my $AAVE average down to 130.79. Right now, after $ETH, I hold the most $AAVE in my portfolio. The current state of my portfolio $ETH - $AAVE - $XRP - $SUI makes up 81.21%.
· 2026-04-19T12:52:20+00:00$AAVE is down 17.9% today following bad debt triggered by the ~$292M rsETH exploit on Kelp DAO.
· 2026-04-19T09:46:03+00:00Let's do the Math for the @aave recovery: - Currently, there are ~630,000 rsETH in circulation ( kerneldao.com/kelp/restake/) - Of which 116,550 rsETH (18.5%) have been stolen and are currently unbacked ( x.com/peckshield/sta …). - Therefore, overall, rsETH is ~81.5% backed by
· 2026-04-19T06:17:29+00:00This wave with AAVE is straight-up absurd to the point of suffocating. Y'all still blindly going long can wake up now—go check what the Aave liquidity pools are looking like. After KelpDAO got hit by that hacker attack, the hacker exploited the dodgy assets $RSETH to go wild
· 2026-04-19T00:57:04+00:00We are closely monitoring the situation with the KelpDAO hack. Please be assured: Grvt funds are NOT affected. As a precautionary measure, we have withdrawn all TVL from Aave. Funds are safe. The 11% Earn on Equity program remains fully operational.

· 2026-04-19T23:20:31+00:00LATEST: Justin Sun publicly asks the KelpDAO hacker how much they want, offering to negotiate instead of letting both Aave and KelpDAO go down over the exploit.
· 2026-04-19T15:54:05+00:00~20 hrs of dead silence from @aave This is unacceptable.
· 2026-04-19T00:04:25+00:00Yesterday, this rsETH was exploited, leading to DeFi heavyweight Aave likely facing over $200 million in bad debt—after all, just looking at the money the hacker has already siphoned off, it's already reached $250 million. The Aave protocol itself actually has no issues, but you
· 2026-04-19T14:11:37+00:00The rsETH hack is so damaging because of how deeply integrated it is across DeFi. 91% of all lending protocols are seeing outflows simultaneously. Here's the outflows over the past 24 hours: 1. Aave $4,920M –25.4% 2. Morpho V1 $608M –8.5% 3. Maple $1.7B $183M –10.7% 4. Tydro
· 2026-04-19T04:00:07+00:00Was curious so took a look back at the @aave gov proposal to add rsETH as collateral to v3 market on Ethereum. Maybe the OFT didn’t exist yet idk but the tail risk of the 1/1 DVN config being exploited was not mentioned In fact, apart from a link to Kelp’s high level technical
· 2026-04-19T17:46:20+00:00What’s so crazy about the AAVE liquidity crisis is that users were getting paid US treasury yields to take defi risk. And then hundreds of millions disappeared. Complete mispricing for the risks involved in putting money in contracts run by crypto people.
· 2026-04-19T02:02:06+00:00In this tumultuous autumn for AAVE, it's caught in the crossfire again... Today, the theft of KelpDAO's rsETH may leave AAVE with bad debts as high as nearly $300 million. Massive funds are panicking out of AAVE, yet borrowing demand remains strong. Meanwhile, Spark's ETH deposit
· 2026-04-19T12:40:58+00:00$AAVE is the backbone of defi, has billions in there, and pretty much every single new defi infrastructure on new chains is a fork of it. And when AAVE has contagion risk, it shows the fragility of the entire system. I don't think the onchain yields are worth the risk and I have
· 2026-04-19T22:07:27+00:00The latest @aave statement is doing two things at once: 1) It's freezing further exposure, which is responsible, 2) and it's anchoring the framing toward "mainnet rsETH fully backed," which is preference disguised as fact. The underlying reality -> the Adapter on mainnet
· 2026-04-19T16:09:19+00:00Today is a difficult day for Defi. We’re actively working with partners across the space to support the best possible outcome for users, not just on Plasma. Plasma Aave markets have no exposure to rsETH. User funds are not at risk from the rsETH exploit, both on Plasma's Aave
· 2026-04-19T09:39:33+00:00To estimate the Aave bad debt from rsETH: - 525.80K rsETH deposited on Ethereum - 62.28K rsETH deposited on Arbitrum - 47.28K rsETH deposited on Mantle Total = 635.36K rsETH rsETH supply pre-hack was 629,689 backed by 675,401 ETH. 1 ETH = 0.9349 rsETH. Post hack supply is
· 2026-04-19T02:26:56+00:00Honestly might make sense to just withdraw what you can from Aave markets as a precaution.
· 2026-04-19T08:36:12+00:00Remember "Just use Aave?" End of an era
· 2026-04-19T09:18:24+00:00Why is it AAVE that's dropping this time? I don't think it's AAVE's fault. I feel like the restaking track is already done for. All those ETHs with letters prefixed in front will slowly lose their pegs later on. Too ridiculous.
· 2026-04-19T11:36:43+00:00As of now, AAVE has already withdrawn up to $6.6 billion—not just on the mainnet, but the USDT and USDC in AAVE lending pools deployed across multiple L2 and EVM networks have been completely drained in runs, with deposit and borrowing rates surging over 15%. Water friends are

· 2026-04-19T14:21:43+00:00aave was the only serious defi protocol, this industry is a joke
· 2026-04-19T00:18:41+00:00I think I was one of the few who have been warning repeatedly that AAVE is a broken protocol. Today's $300 million exploit again proves how vulnerable these types of platforms are. In this case AAVE listed an asset that can be used as collateral without doing any due diligence.
· 2026-04-19T20:19:57+00:00Y’all wanted high stablecoin APYs? 13% on Aave. Small caveat, you can’t withdraw your funds. (Total supplied and total borrowed are the same)
· 2026-04-19T09:46:37+00:00Hot take: Blaming @LayerZero_Core for the Kelp team ( @kelpDAO , not actually a DAO) choosing 1 DVN consensus is the exact same energy as blaming @Morpho for a curator fucking up. It's mostly on @aave and Kelp here. Disclosure: I'm long Morpho / short AAVE on @pear_protocol
· 2026-04-19T06:27:46+00:00There is still a lot of confusion about the hack The attacker also stole $72M from Aave on Arbitrum. Unlike the mainnet deployment, the Arbitrum deployment is really holding an unbacked asset. The article below is still the best summary of the incident that I’ve seen so far.
· 2026-04-19T18:23:02+00:00Fluid team did a sprint, launching something in an hour for a solution of current problems in DeFi and Aave. Keep an eye out!
· 2026-04-19T00:37:13+00:00Huobi has an address that had been depositing money into AAVE all along, and it was the first to withdraw when things went wrong. I bet Brother Sun got quite a scare—this even flipped over.
· 2026-04-19T17:11:00+00:00I know this topic is annoying, but unfortunately, it really is very relevant. Aave is currently in a more than critical situation, and just yesterday, it was the largest DeFi protocol in the space. After the rsETH exploit and over 200 million in bad debt, major players have
· 2026-04-19T19:06:42+00:00ATTENTION THE BIGGEST DEFI EXPLOIT OF 2026 JUST HAPPENED And $AAVE, the protocol everyone thought was BULLETPROOF, got caught in the crossfire and its token suffers a 20% DROP. It wasn't a hack on Aave. But the damage is real. On Saturday, April 18, an attacker
