Aave DAO Governance Vote to Pause Buybacks — KelpDAO Fallout Continues



Circle Ventures snaps up $AAVE days after a $293M KelpDAO exploit, shoring up Aave’s bad‑debt shock while Washington weighs a landmark US stablecoin bill.

Aave governance is bracing for another high‑stakes vote as a proposal to pause $AAVE buybacks until the rsETH/KelpDAO incident is fully resolved goes live on April 28, extending a de facto halt already in place since April 19. The ARFC, posted on the Aave governance forum, argues that diverting protocol revenue into buybacks while the size and allocation of rsETH losses remain uncertain “would reduce the treasury’s capacity to participate in a coordinated response should one become necessary.”

The proposal formalizes the current stop on treasury buybacks that followed the April 18 rsETH bridge exploit, where unbacked rsETH surged into Aave V3 markets and forced the Aave Guardian to freeze rsETH and wrsETH reserves across multiple chains. “All Aave pools remain safe and fully operational,” the Guardian stressed in an incident note, adding that the issue “does not stem from a vulnerability in the Aave protocol itself” but from KelpDAO and LayerZero infrastructure.

Governance under pressure in a $620M hack month

According to incident trackers and security firms, the April 2026 DeFi hack wave has already drained more than $620 million across a dozen exploits, led by KelpDAO’s roughly $292–$293 million bridge attack that siphoned 116,500 rsETH — about 18% of supply — in a single transaction. Aave has been one of the hardest‑hit venues in second‑order effects, with analytics site CryptoRank reporting that its total value locked fell from around $26.4 billion to $18.6 billion after the KelpDAO incident, wiping out close to $8 billion in deposits.

On the treasury side, a separate proposal envisions allocating 25,000 $ETH from Aave DAO

Western Union plans to launch its USDPT stablecoin next month as part of a wider move into digital assets.  Summary Western Union expects USDPT to go live in May for faster settlement across payment corridors. The Digital Asset Network will connect crypto wallets with Western Union’s large global cash-out network. A planned Stable Card will let consumers hold and spend dollar-backed stablecoins later this year. The company said the token is in its final stage of readiness after months of preparation. CEO Devin McGranahan said during the firm’s first-quarter earnings call that Western Union has moved past the planning stage. He said, “It is no longer a question of if Western Union will be active in digital assets; it is now how fast we can scale.” You might also like: Michael Saylor teases Bitcoin buy, but bulls may get less USDPT will support settlement, not retail users USDPT will be a U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin built on Solana and issued by Anchorage Digital Bank. Western Union first announced the stablecoin in October as part of its plan to modernize money movement. McGranahan said USDPT will not launch as a direct consumer-facing stablecoin. Instead, the company plans to use it as an alternative settlement tool with agents, including in select countries and core payment corridors. Additionally, Western Union is also launching its Digital Asset Network, known as DAN. The platform will connect crypto wallets with Western Union’s retail and agent network, helping users convert digital assets into local currency. The company said the first DAN partner is expected to go live this week. McGranahan said, “Millions of wallet users will be able to move from digital assets into local currency using Western Union’s retail network.” Stable Card planned for global consumers Western Union also plans to launch a U.S. dollar Stable Card later this year.

Monero To $1,160? Analyst Sees Major XMR Rally Ahead
Cryptoinsightuk analyst Will Taylor says Monero’s multi-year structure could support a move toward the $1,000 area and potentially as high as $1,160 if the current weekly trend holds.

Taylor shared a weekly $XMR chart on X and tied the setup to a broader thesis around privacy coins, arguing that Monero’s market structure has continued to improve despite the regulatory and exchange pressure facing privacy-focused assets.

“Looking to see if this trend continues or not. Structural higher lows and higher highs, with volatility of the upside moves increasing. I’m thinking a TP below / around the psychological level of $1,000,” Taylor wrote.

He added that the more aggressive target sits above that level. “We still have today to confirm on the weekly of course, but just an idea. There is also an argument for the $1,160 region that would align with the 2.618 fib level.”

The Thesis Behind Monero

The chart shows Monero trading near $388 against USDT on KuCoin. The projected move toward the $1,160 area would imply a gain of around 200% from the highlighted region, according to the chart’s measurement. Taylor’s market-cap chart also shows $XMR around $7.15 billion, with Fibonacci extension levels mapped above the current range.

Taylor’s thesis is not based only on near-term price structure. In a longer note from The Weekly Insight, he framed Monero as a bet on the persistence of crypto privacy demand, even as regulators and exchanges have moved against privacy tokens.

“The next token I want to look at is $XMR (Monero). There’s been an international push to essentially halt privacy tokens like Monero, Dash, and others, due to their ability to make transactions difficult, if not impossible, to trace. I’d like to remind everyone that this was the original vision for crypto—an anonymous, decentralized financial system.”

It is no secret that the Trump family has made massive personal gains with their cryptocurrency ventures in the last year. Now the First Family’s crypto dealings have been brought into question in regards to the Clarity Act. Several Democrats, and also Senator Thom Tillis, a Republican from North Carolina, are asking for the addition ethics language in the bill. The lawmakers aim to add a provision to restrict how executive branch officials use digital assets. According to Sen. Ruben Gallego, “There is no final bill — there is no final movement — unless there is a bipartisan agreement when it comes to the ethics provision.” Trump’s crypto empire may get in the way of his Clarity Act. Let’s discuss.Will The Clarity Bill Stall Due To The Trump Family’s Crypto Empire?Source: NewsweekThe Trump family’s crypto dealings have generated more than $1 billion in personal wealth.

USD/CNY dipped on Monday as Yuan was supported by a firm central bank fixing and the fastest growth in industrial profits in six months.. Profits at China's industrial firms grew at their fastest pace

USD/CNY dipped on Monday as Yuan was supported by a firm central bank fixing and the fastest growth in industrial profits in six months.. Profits at China's industrial firms grew at their fastest pace in six months in March, according to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, adding to signs of an uneven economic recovery as policymakers brace for the impact of the Iran war. Prior to the market opening, the People's Bank of China set the midpoint rate at 6.8579 per dollar, its strongest since March 2023. The spot yuan is allowed to trade 2% on either side of the fixed midpoint each day. The yuan is up 1.0% this month against the dollar, which has given up most of its safe-haven premium, triggered by the Middle East conflict, as markets priced in optimism for a possible peace deal. Immediate resistance is located at 6.842(SMA 20), any close above will push the pair towards 6.852(38.2%fib) Support is seen at 6.816 (23.6%fib) and break below could take the pair towards 6.788 (Lower BB). Recommendation: Good to sell around 6.830, with stop loss of 6.850 and target price of 6.815Gold is meant to be a 'safe haven' in uncertain times.

Project Eleven’s 1 BTC Q-Day Prize was meant to sharpen the debate over quantum risk to Bitcoin and other ECC-secured crypto assets. Instead, a sharp critique from Google quantum researcher Craig Gidney has turned the competition itself into the story.

In an April 25 blog post titled “The predictable failure of the QDay Prize,” Gidney, a research scientist on Google’s quantum computing team, argued that the winning submission did not meaningfully demonstrate progress toward a cryptographically relevant quantum attack. His central claim was blunt: the contest was structured around a benchmark that current quantum computers are poorly suited to measure.

Bitcoin’s Quantum Threat Debate Explodes
Project Eleven had announced the previous day that it awarded the Q-Day Prize to Giancarlo Lelli for breaking a 15-bit elliptic curve key on publicly accessible quantum hardware. The group described the result as the “largest quantum attack on elliptic curve cryptography to date” and said it represented a 512x jump from a prior 6-bit public demonstration.

For crypto markets, the framing mattered. Project Eleven explicitly linked the result to the long-term security assumptions behind Bitcoin, Ethereum, and more than $2.5 trillion in ECC-secured digital assets.

But Gidney argued that the test may have proved far less than advertised. Gidney said he was invited last year to participate in the Q-Day Prize but declined because he viewed the premise as flawed. His first objection was that Shor’s algorithm requires quantum error correction for cryptographically meaningful instances.

“Current quantum computers experience on the order of one error per thousand gates, but cryptographically relevant instances of Shor’s algorithm require billions of gates,” he wrote. “The only known way to cross this chasm is quantum error correction. There are p
