Over the past year, Solana has been the platform of choice for cryptocurrency speculation. This positioning provided its network with an invaluable "stress test." The result was an explosive growth in user activity, fees, number of developers, and investor attention.

However, this also made the network highly vulnerable to a "cooling down" effect once risk appetite subsided. This "cooling down" effect arrived in the first quarter. Solana is now in reset mode. This article will share a comprehensive data-driven update on the Solana network's performance in the first quarter, as well as our focus going forward.

Ethena surges 14%, tests resistance as bulls target breakout

A 14% price jump in Ethena [ENA] has pushed the asset toward a key resistance level with a history of reversals.

Despite this make-or-break zone, experts' bold projections and rising accumulation among the top 100 holders suggest that ENA could potentially break above this prolonged barrier this time.

As of this writing, ENA was up 14.22% over the past 24 hours and is currently trading at $0.123.

With the rising price, market participants have shown notable interest in the asset, as trading volume climbed 72% to $283.55 million during the same period.

On the daily chart, ENA appears bullish, as it has recently broken out of a descending channel pattern. However, due to the key resistance at $0.1345, the price seems to be struggling to continue its rally.

The daily chart shows that ENA has been facing this resistance since the beginning of February 2026.

Michael Saylor Hints at Bigger Bitcoin Buys After Floating Semi-Monthly Dividends

Bitcoin (BTC)

Michael Saylor signaled on social media that Strategy is on the verge of announcing another Bitcoin purchase, posting a chart of the company’s full BTC buying history with noticeably larger circles marking recent acquisitions.

The timing matters: Strategy already executed a record single-day buy exceeding $1 billion in BTC just before the tease, and with $2.25 billion in cash reserved, the scale of what comes next is the only open question.

Simultaneously, the company, formerly MicroStrategy and now the largest corporate Bitcoin holder on the planet, floated a proposal to convert its STRC preferred stock from monthly to semi-monthly dividend payments, a structural capital markets refinement that analysts say could significantly broaden institutional demand for the instrument.

Key Takeaways:

Purchase incoming: Saylor shared a chart of Strategy’s BTC buying history with larger recent circles, signaling acceleration – another buy announcement is imminent.

Dividend proposal: Strategy is floating semi-monthly payments for its STRC preferred stock, with shareholder voting closing June 8, 2026; first record date June 30, first payment July 15.

STRC mechanics: Annualized yield stays fixed at 11.5%; switching to twice-monthly payments targets halved ex-dividend drawdowns, tighter liquidity patterns, and better collateral utility.

Market signal: With BTC above $76,000 and $2.25 billion in cash reserved, Strategy’s dual move – more BTC plus refined shareholder returns – is a compounding demand signal for the spot market.

Bitcoin faces near-term pressure as liquidity tightens, Hilbert Group CIO says



Global liquidity is set to deteriorate sharply, according to Russell Thompson, chief investment officer at crypto asset manager Hilbert Group (HILB), who said even a quick geopolitical resolution in Iran is unlikely to sustain a rally in risk assets without policy support.

Liquidity conditions have stabilized in parts of the financial sector following the rollout of the reserve maturity program (RMP), Thompson said, but a broader tightening of 20%–25% is approaching, a significant drag that could leave bitcoin struggling in the near term.

"Even with a resolution quickly in Iran, I do not believe that risk assets will rally for any sustainable time without outside help," Thompson said in the report published last week.

Thompson said he expects U.S. policymakers to respond. He pointed to likely measures including reform of the supplementary leverage ratio (SLR), a sizable drawdown of the Treasury General Account (TGA) without offsetting Federal Reserve bill issuance, and a series of rate cuts under a potential new Fed chair.

The SLR is a banking regulation that sets how much capital large banks must hold against their total leverage. The TGA is the U.S. Treasury’s main cash account at the Federal Reserve.

When the Treasury draws down the TGA (spends money from it), liquidity is effectively injected into the financial system; when it builds the TGA, liquidity is drained.

Bitcoin’s performance over the past six months has been marked by sharp volatility, a clear shift from late-2025 exuberance to a more fragile, macro-driven market.

After hitting an all-time high above $126,000 in October 2025, bitcoin entered a sustained drawdown through the end of the year and into early 2026. By February, prices had fallen to roughly $63,000, a decline of about 50% from the peak, amid a broader cryp

On April 18, 2026, Kelp DAO's liquidity restaking protocol was compromised by an attacker who siphoned 116,500 rsETH (equivalent to approximately $293 million at the time) from the cross-chain bridge within hours. The entire process was unusually efficient, from forging cross-chain messages to distributing the stolen funds across three lending protocols—Aave V3, Compound V3, and Euler—to lend out real assets. The attackers withdrew with $236 million worth of WETH that same day. Aave, SparkLend, and Fluid subsequently froze the rsETH market.

This was the largest DeFi attack of 2026 to date.

However, one thing distinguished this attack from most hacks: Kelp DAO's smart contract code contained no vulnerabilities.  Security researcher @0xQuit, who participated in the investigation, wrote on X, "From what I currently understand, this is a combination of two problems: a 1-of-1 DVN configuration, and the DVN node itself being compromised." LayerZero's official statement also didn't mention the contract code, characterizing the problem as an "rsETH vulnerability" rather than a "LayerZero vulnerability."


$293 million isn't in any line of code. It's hidden in a misplaced configuration parameter during deployment.


The general logic of DeFi security auditing is: find the contract, read the code, find vulnerabilities. This logic works quite smoothly when dealing with code logic vulnerabilities; tools like Slither and Mythril have mature capabilities for detecting known patterns such as reentrancy attacks and integer overflows. LLM-assisted code auditing, which has been heavily promoted in the past two years, also has some capability against business logic vulnerabilities (such as flash loan arbitrage paths).


However, two rows in this matrix are red.

 Configuration-level vulnerabilities are a structural blind spot in tool auditing. The problem with Kelp DAO

Aave price drops to $90 after Kelp DAO exploit, derivatives hint at potential rebound

Aave price plummeted nearly 20% to around $90 by Monday morning following a massive exploit at Kelp DAO that left the protocol saddled with roughly $196 million in bad debt.

According to data from crypto.news, Aave (AAVE) price fell from $106 on Sunday to an intraday low of $89 on Monday before backpedaling on some of its losses and stabilizing at $91 when writing.
