KelpDAO Exploit Triggers DeFi Market Turmoil
- Attacker Identity Revealed: The attacker linked to the Lazarus Group exploited fake bridge messages to release 116,500 rsETH, unexpectedly inflating the circulating supply on Ethereum and creating significant market uncertainty.
- Liquidity Pressure Intensifies: By using rsETH as collateral on AAVE, the attacker borrowed over $200 million in ETH, which placed immediate pressure on liquidity, leading to a surge in withdrawals and a notable reduction in available liquidity for stablecoin markets.
- rsETH Price Decline: The value of rsETH has dropped to approximately 82% of its original value, reflecting market reactions to increased supply and uncertainty, while KelpDAO now faces critical decisions regarding loss distribution among holders.
- Recovery Options Considered: KelpDAO is exploring recovery strategies, including spreading losses across all holders or prioritizing Ethereum mainnet holders, which could potentially value rsETH near 84% of its peg.
