Aave Moves to Restore rsETH After Kelp DAO Exploit

TheNewsCryptoPublicado a 2026-05-07Actualizado a 2026-05-07

Finally, Aave Labs has taken a step toward reestablishing rsETH backing and paying impacted users by liquidating the remaining rsETH assets on Ethereum and Arbitrum held by the Kelp DAO attacker.

According to X post, Aave announced this on Wednesday, calling it a “critical step” in the “DeFi United” recovery plan. Recovery Guardian, a multisignature wallet administered by DeFi United, received the liquidated collateral associated with the $293 million exploit that occurred on April 18, according to the statement.

Recovery Efforts Gain Momentum

According to Thaddeus Pinakiewicz, VP of research at Galaxy Digital, DeFi United is currently only around 10% short of the Ether (ETH) required to reinstate the Kelp DAO restaked ETH (rsETH) token. Among the most catastrophic crypto breaches of 2026, the Kelp DAO attack sent shockwaves across the DeFi lending market, destroying trust in the system and destroying billions of dollars’ worth of liquidity.

According to Aave, their insurance system, Umbrella, which offers automatic protection against bad debt, was not used, and customer funds were unaffected by the liquidations. On April 28, Aave said that 13,000 Ether, or around $30.2 million at today’s rates, will be released upon clearing up the hacker’s collateral on Arbitrum and Ethereum.

Still, as pointed out by Pinakiewicz, another 30,765 ETH have been frozen by Arbitrum DAO and are still in “legal limbo” due to a restraining notice that was issued on Friday by a US law firm, Gerstein Harrow LLP, which prohibits Arbitrum DAO from dispersing the frozen ETH. An emergency motion to remove the restraining notice was filed by Aave in response.

Arbitrum DAO members are now debating whether to unfreeze the ETH held by the DeFi United fund; the idea has received support from more than 90% of voters. The voting period will end on Friday.

Bitcoin Price Drops to $62,470 as Sellers Retest $63,000 Support Level

Bitcoin's price fell below $63,000 for a second consecutive day on Friday, hitting an intraday low of $62,470. The cryptocurrency later recovered to trade just above $63,000, leaving it nearly flat for the past 24 hours and for August overall, with a weekly loss of 2.6%. The volatility triggered significant liquidations, with $26 million of leveraged long Bitcoin positions liquidated over 24 hours. Market sentiment was further dampened by data showing over $131 million in outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs for a second straight day, signaling a potential pullback by institutional investors. Adding to the negative pressure, index provider MSCI has proposed new criteria for "non-operating companies" in its global indexes, which could lead to the exclusion of firms holding significant digital assets like Bitcoin on their balance sheets. Companies such as Strategy and Metaplanet could be affected, potentially forcing index-tracking funds to sell their shares. Strategy publicly criticized the proposal, arguing digital assets are legitimate assets and index providers should not dictate what companies can own. Public consultations on MSCI's proposal end September 30, with a final decision expected by October 16. If approved, exclusions could begin in November, potentially triggering sustained institutional selling and damaging a key bridge for Bitcoin adoption in the corporate sector.
