Drift Protocol has announced a collaboration with Tether (USDT) and other partners totaling nearly $150 million to fund user recovery and a protocol relaunch following its April 1 exploit on Solana (SOL). The package includes a $100 million revenue-linked credit facility, an ecosystem grant, and loans to designated market makers. USDT will serve as the settlement asset when the protocol relaunches. Recovery Pool and Token for Impacted Users The funds, out of which $127.5 million is reportedly from Tether, will support a dedicated user recovery pool fed by exchange revenue and committed support capital. Drift stated that any assets recovered through ongoing law enforcement and blockchain forensics efforts will also flow into the pool. To distribute recovery assets, Drift will issue a new transferable token to users affected by the April 1 exploit. The team said additional details on token mechanics will follow in the near term. The April 1 attack drained between $270 million and $285 million from Drift’s vaults. Blockchain analytics firm Elliptic attributed the operation to North Korean state-linked actors who spent six months infiltrating the protocol’s inner circle. Attackers posed as a quantitative trading firm, built trust at conferences, and compromised devices through a malicious TestFlight app and a VSCode vulnerability. They then manipulated Drift’s multisig approvals using Solana’s durable nonces feature to drain core vaults holding USDC, SOL, and JLP tokens. The incident slashed Drift’s total value locked from $550 million to roughly $230 million. The Drift (DRIFT) token dropped over 30% in the immediate aftermath. The protocol’s TVL was $243 million as of this writing. Drift Protocol TVL.

PEPE Price Leads Meme Coin Surge as Capital Rotates to Risk Assets



Pepe coin, the frog-themed meme cryptocurrency jumped over 8% during Thursday’s U.S. market hours to hit $0.000004 high. This upswing follows the broader recovery in the meme coin market as capital rotates to higher-risk assets, supported by stable market sentiment. However, a stagnant trend in $PEPE’s open interest indicator suggests a lack of speculative force in the market. Can $PEPE price manage to reclaim the $0.000005 barrier?

Meme Coin Market Climbs 12% Amid Risk-On Sentiment Shift

In the last 24-hours, the meme coin sector witnessed a significant surge of over 12% to reach a market cap of $39.8 billion, according to Coingecko data. The buying pressure followed a sudden capital rotation to these volatile assets, as the escalation of the middle-east war has triggered a risk on sentiment.

Hopes for an extended U.S.–Iran ceasefire has stabilized markets, with Bitcoin reclaiming the $75,000 mark. The Fear and Greed Index of the cryptocurrency was at 56 as of April 16, 2026, which is squarely in the neutral zone. It is a level of equilibrium in the market sentiment and investors are not really scared or greedy.

Meme coins saw noticeable price increases during the day. $PEPE price climbed 9% to $0.000004, leading the segment. DOGEgained 3.07%, reaching $0.09601, while SHIB rose 3.41% to $0.00000606. These stable conditions showed positive price action in the meme sector in general.

However, the Pepe Open Interest (OI), projecting the outstanding value of outstanding futures and options contracts, averages around $194 million on Thursday. According to coinglass, the OI value has remained stagnant since early February, indicating a wait-and-see approach from institutions and traders. It suggests that while existing positions aren’t being aggressively closed, no significant “new money

⚡ Ethereum Approaching Breakout Zone

Ethereum is currently showing strong signs of momentum as it approaches a key resistance level. Over the past 24 hours, ETH has maintained stability while slowly pushing upward, indicating controlled buying pressure. This kind of movement often signals that a breakout could be forming soon.

Market sentiment around Ethereum is improving, especially as investors shift focus back to fundamentally strong assets. Unlike meme coins, ETH benefits from real-world use cases including DeFi, NFTs, and smart contracts, which continue to drive long-term demand.

Another important factor is the steady increase in network activity. More users interacting with decentralized applications means higher demand for ETH, which supports price growth over time.

If Ethereum successfully breaks above resistance, it could trigger a strong rally not only for ETH but also for the broader altcoin market.

America’s top brokerage firm, Charles Schwab, has officially rolled out trading for Bitcoin ($BTC) and Ethereum ($ETH) on the Schwab Crypto platform through the Charles Schwab Premier Bank.

Today’s announcement is a follow-up to the one that happened earlier this month. Charles Schwab now plans to integrate more cryptocurrencies and AI tools to cater to industry demand, while diversifying its revenue sources.

At present, the Texas-headquartered firm boasts about $1.48 trillion in assets under management (AUM), and up to 46 million active brokerage accounts managed by 16,000 advisors.

Aside from its flagship crypto product, Charles Schwab released its Q1 2026 earnings report today.

This caused a 7.73% drop in its stock (NYSE: SCHW) on the day, with the stock trading at $92.53 at the time of writing.
