The $13 billion DeFi wipeout in two days, and it started with KelpDAO attack

The decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem is experiencing a sharp capital outflow following the weekend exploit of the KelpDAO protocol.

Leading DeFi lending platform Aave has lost $8.45 billion in deposits over the past 48 hours, driving a broader $13.21 billion decline in total value locked (TVL) across DeFi. TVL refers to the combined dollar value of crypto assets deposited across DeFi protocols, such as Aave, and is widely used as to measure liquidity and overall market activity.

Total value locked across DeFi fell from $99.497 billion to $86.286 billion, while Aave’s TVL declined by $8.45 billion to $17.947 billion over the same period, according to DefiLlama. Protocol-level data shows double-digit percentage drops across platforms, including Euler, Sentora, and Aave, with losses concentrated in lending, restaking, and yield strategies tied to the affected collateral.

The move stems from a $292 million exploit of Kelp’s bridge that allowed attackers to use stolen rsETH, a liquid re-staking token widely used in DeFi, as collateral to borrow funds on lending platforms.

Because these stolen tokens lacked legitimate collateral backing, borrowing against them created potential shortfalls for lenders. It’s similar to conning a traditional bank by depositing fake fiat and taking out loans against it, ultimately leaving the lender with bad debt.

Protocols responded by freezing affected markets, while panicked users withdrew funds, leading to a broad decline in total value locked.

Token prices have moved less sharply than deposits. The AAVE token is down about 2.5% over 24 hours, while UNI and LINK are down less than 1% over the same period, according to CoinDesk market data.

The metal market is evolving with each passing day, with gold and silver unveiling new details every day. That being said, the current war narratives have now pushed the silver market into a tizzy, with the silver annual deficit set to widen 15% YoY in 2026. Moreover, the silver market is experiencing bouts of growing demand amid the war, which is making the silver market more volatile than ever.Also Read: Bitcoin Isn’t Competing With Gold, It’s Replacing It: Here’s HowSilver Market and Price Updates: Deficit Set to WidenSource: The Sunday GuardianPer the latest update by the Kobeissi Letter, the silver market is heading towards its 6th annual deficit. Per the portal, the global silver deficit is set to widen by 16% in 2026 to 46M troy ounces. Since 2021, the platform has shared how global silver stocks have been depleted by a massive 762M troy ounces, strengthening the risk of another silver price crunch taking over the domain.“The silver market is heading for a 6th consecutive annual structural deficit. The global silver deficit may widen +15% YoY in 2026, to 46 million troy ounces.“In simpler terms, the Iran-US war has had a direct impact on silver’s industrial demand. That being said, the war has also resulted in silver emerging as the leading safe-haven asset. This development may compel the physical silver bar and coin demand to rise nearly by 18% YoY. In addition to this, all these narratives, in essence, may push the global silver supply to drop by 2%, tightening the circuit once and for all.“This comes as industrial silver fabrication may fall -3% YoY to a 4-year low, with the Iran war weighing on global growth and threatening further demand losses. Coin and bar demand may rise +18% YoY, supported by a recovery in US purchases, partially offsetting the industrial weakness. Meanwhile, total global silver supply may decline by -2% YoY, as miners pull back on production commitments made during last year’s price surge. The silver market has almost never been th

Claim1,200 USDT in the Monthly Creation Challenge

dataIran’s Foreign Ministry came out swinging on Sunday, accusing the United States of committing war crimes through what it described as an unlawful naval blockade — a charge that landed just hours after US President Donald Trump accused Tehran of firing in the Strait of Hormuz and breaking the terms of an active ceasefire.

Both Sides Point Fingers
Spokesperson Esmail Baghaei posted the accusation directly on X, arguing the US blockade of Iranian ports and coastline violated not just the ceasefire brokered by Pakistan, but international law.

He cited Article 2(4) of the UN Charter and referenced a 1974 UN General Assembly resolution that explicitly defines a naval blockade as an act of aggression.

The United States’ so-called “blockade” of Iran’s ports or coastline is not only a violation of Pakistani-mediated ceasefire but also both unlawful and criminal. It violates Article 2(4) of the UN Charter; it constitutes an act of aggression under Article 3(c) of the UN General...

— Esmaeil Baqaei (@IRIMFA_SPOX) April 19, 2026

Baghaei went further, saying the blockade amounted to collective punishment of Iranian civilians — language that under international law falls under war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Trump, for his part, told reporters that Iran fired shots in the Strait of Hormuz, calling it a serious breach of the ceasefire set to expire Wednesday, April 22.

President Trump tells me Iran has committed a “serious violation” of the ceasefire but he still thinks he can get a peace deal:

“It will happen. One way or another. The nice way or the hard way. It’s going to happen. You can quote me.

He still expressed confidence a deal could be reached. “It will happen,” he said, as quoted by an ABC News correspondent. “One way or another. The nice way or the hard way.”

DeepFlow Summary: A survey of 6,000 executives in four countries by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) revealed that nearly 90% of companies believe AI has had "no impact" on employment and productivity over the past three years. However, in Q1 2026, the tech industry already laid off 78,557 people, with 47.9% attributed to AI. Productivity data is blank, yet layoffs are surging in the name of AI. Economists compare this contradiction to an AI version of the "computer paradox" proposed by 1987 Nobel laureate economist George Solow.


$250 billion has been poured in, and nearly 90% of companies say AI has brought no productivity improvements. Meanwhile, tech companies are laying off large numbers of employees in the name of AI.

This is the most absurd scene in the current AI industry.

 According to a Fortune magazine report on April 19th, a study published by NBER in February of this year, covering 6,000 business executives in the US, UK, Germany, and Australia, found that nearly 90% of the surveyed companies said that AI had had no measurable impact on their employment and productivity over the past three years. While two-thirds of executives used AI, they averaged only 1.5 hours per week, and 25% of respondents said they didn't use AI at all in their work.

On the other hand, according to Nikkei Asia, citing RationalFX data, from January 1st to early April 2026, the technology industry laid off 78,557 people, of whom 37,638 (47.9%) were explicitly attributed to AI and workflow automation. More than 76% of these layoffs occurred in the US.

Apollo's chief economist, Torsten Slok, directly quoted the classic argument of 1987 Nobel laureate in economics Robert Solow, summarizing the current situation as an AI version of the "Solow Paradox."  Solow famously said, "The computer age is everywhere except in prod
