ARB Price Holds Near $0.129 While Traders Watch BTC Dominance CloselyArbitrum traded in a narrow band on Friday as traders weighed a stronger altcoin backdrop against fresh warnings around token supply and Bitcoin dominance. On X, analyst Michaël van de Poppe said there had been “great momentum on altcoins over the past week” and added that with the VIX still low, Bitcoin showing momentum, and indices printing new highs, he “wouldn’t assume that this stops.”

$8.8 billion at risk! Can crypto avoid Monday shakeout if U.S. stocks crack?

As markets brace for Monday volatility, crypto faces a critical test of conviction versus macro pressure.

Analysts expect Monday to be an “eventful” trading session. 

The question, though, is whether this is the most diplomatic way of describing what might actually unfold.

Looking at the ongoing developments surrounding the Iran-U.S. conflict, the word “eventful” seems like an understated way of describing what the U.S. stock market could face on Monday, the 20th April. 

For context, the past 72 hours have been highly volatile.

From the ceasefire boost to the U.S. President Donald Trump’s post about the Strait of Hormuz reopening, followed by the Iranian government’s immediate dismissal of his claims, the crypto market has mirrored this exact sequence.

Bitcoin [BTC] briefly broke above $78k, only to pull back toward $75k. This raises an important question: Where is crypto headed next?

At the macro level, price action suggests growing downside asymmetry. 

As the chart above shows, market probabilities now place a 44% chance of U.S. oil prices reclaiming the $100 per barrel level this month as Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz again.

Notably, the last trading session saw oil prices close 5.9% lower following President Trump’s announcement.

Aave records $6 billion TVL drop as Kelp hack exposes structural risk at DeFi lender



Aave just watched $6.6 billion walk out the door, and it's not because anyone hacked Aave.

The protocol's total value locked dropped from $26.4 billion on April 18 to nearly $20 billion in U.S. morning hours on Sunday, per DefiLlama. The $AAVE token fell 16% to $92, and daily fees spiked to $1.99 million as liquidations ripped through the weekend.

Depositors are running because Aave is carrying a hole it did not create. When attackers drained 116,500 rsETH from Kelp's bridge on Saturday, they dumped the stolen tokens on Aave V3 as collateral and borrowed wrapped ether against them.

On-chain trackers put the Aave-specific borrow at roughly $196 million, with total positions across Aave, Compound and Euler around $236 million.

Aave is the largest lending protocol in DeFi, where users deposit crypto to earn yield and other users borrow against collateral. Kelp is a liquid restaking protocol, which takes ether that has already been staked on Ethereum and routes it through a separate yield-generating system called EigenLayer, issuing a receipt token called rsETH in exchange.

That rsETH is what users trade and, critically, what some users posted on Aave as collateral to borrow against.

On Saturday, attackers tricked Kelp's cross-chain bridge into releasing 116,500 rsETH, about $292 million worth, to an address they controlled. They then deposited that stolen rsETH onto Aave V3 as collateral and borrowed wrapped ether against it.

A bridge is a blockchain-based took that transfers tokens between different networks, where they may not be originally supported.

Aave first said the Umbrella reserve would cover any deficit. By Saturday afternoon the language had softened to "explore paths to offset the deficit." That is not how a protocol talks when it knows how much it owes and has the

Santiment Spots Contrarian Signal As Bitcoin Breaks $77K Ceiling

Bitcoin topped $77,000 this week for the first time in 11 weeks, yet social chatter skews sharply negative. Santiment counts three bearish comments for every two bullish ones.

The on-chain analytics firm posted the reading on X, pointing to retail fatigue after weeks of conflicting ceasefire headlines tied to the war in Iran. Many traders, it said, are discounting news flow regardless of direction.

According to Santiment, the end-of-week rally followed President Donald Trump's latest ceasefire announcement. Most small traders still expect BTC to top out near $84,000, the firm added.

"Markets nearly always move opposite to the crowd's expectations, so avoid following the herd," Santiment wrote. The firm suggested a push past $90,000 remains on the table if fear keeps rising.
Analysts often treat lopsided bearish sentiment at local highs as contrarian fuel. Santiment argues the current profit-taking and FUD raise the odds the rally extends rather than stalls.

The firm flagged variables that could shift the picture quickly, including the war's trajectory, the S&P 500's push toward record highs, and the progress of the Clarity Act. Any single headline can reset positioning.

Bitcoin's recent climb tracks a volatile stretch driven largely by Middle East developments. Prices pushed near $78,000 Friday after Iran reopened the Strait of Hormuz, with the April 22 U.S. ceasefire deadline approaching. That run marked Bitcoin's highest level since February.
