Aave (AAVE) Suffers Historic Liquidity Freeze After rsETH Exploit

A forged LayerZero message targeting Kelp DAO on April 18, 2026, drained 116,500 rsETH ($292 million) and triggered the largest liquidity freeze in Aave‘s history. Within two hours, WETH liquidity on Aave V3 collapsed from $689 million to just $1.5 million. The protocol’s total available liquidity contracted by 41%, falling from $9.77 billion to $5.75 billion in 29 hours.　　The attacker exploited a vulnerability in Kelp DAO‘s rsETH Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) adapter, using compromised LayerZero verifier nodes to forge a cross-chain message. The stolen rsETH was looped as collateral across Aave, Compound, and Euler, netting $236 million in WETH and wstETH before Kelp DAO paused operations. Aave’s automated systems functioned as designed, but the attacks scale overwhelmed reserves, driving utilization to 100% and freezing liquidity.　　Liquidity Collapse Stages　　The liquidity squeeze unfolded in five stages:Pre-event baseline (17:00 UTC): Aaves total available liquidity stood at $9.77 billion.Exploit window (18:00-19:00 UTC): Liquidity dropped $1.56 billion (-16%). WETH reserves plummeted by 99.8%.rsETH freeze to WETH freeze (19:00-03:00 UTC): Panic borrowing further drained $1.1 billion as USDT and USDC liquidity hit zero.Post-WETH freeze stabilization: The pace of withdrawals slowed, with reserves contracting by $538 million.Continued stabilization: Liquidity fell by $673 million, driven by wstETH and WBTC

Canada Advances Legislation to Prohibit Cryptocurrency in Political Campaigns

Canadas Bill C-25, which would ban crypto donations to federal political campaigns, passed second reading in the House of Commons with cross-party support and little opposition. pic.twitter.com/vsA7dubYlv　　— CoinMarketCap (@CoinMarketCap) April 28, 2026　　Government House leader Steven MacKinnon introduced the legislation on March 26. Following its successful passage through second reading, the bill will undergo detailed scrutiny at the committee level, where amendments remain possible.　　Should the legislation receive final approval, it would formally prohibit political entities and individual candidates from accepting crypto donations. Regulatory authorities have identified digital currency contributions as a significant vulnerability in current campaign finance oversight, primarily citing challenges in transaction traceability.　　During the bills introduction, MacKinnon stated: “With the introduction of the Strong and Free Elections Act, new investments to counter foreign threats and stronger government coordination, we are acting to ensure our elections remain free, fair and secure at all times.”　　This legislative effort represents Canadas second attempt at implementing such restrictions. A comparable initiative led by Dominic LeBlanc in 2024 ultimately stalled before completion.　　The challenge extends beyond Canadian borders. The UKs Joint Committee on the National Security Strategy issued a March 2026 report identifying digital assets as “an avoidable risk” to political financing integrity. The committee emphasized that

Iran oil storage nears capacity as US blockade cuts exports

Tech　　Iran oil storage nears capacity as US blockade cuts exports　　Iran has 12-22 days of oil storage capacity left as a US naval blockade continues, and the Polymarket contract for a crude oil all-time high by April 30 sits at 0.4% YES.　　The blockade started April 13, 2026, and has cut Irans exports from 1.5 million barrels per day to 0.8 million. Onshore storage is nearly full, with a potential annual revenue loss of $9–15 billion. The Crude Oil All Time High by April 30 market holds at 0.4% YES, unchanged from earlier but down from 2% a day ago. It takes $695 to move the price 5 points, a thin market.　　The WTI Crude Oil Prices in April 2026 contract remains at 0.2% YES, also unchanged from earlier and down from 1% a day ago. That market requires $1,632 to shift 5 points, making it somewhat thicker than the all-time high contract.　　Irans storage problem could force production shutdowns or distressed selling, either of which would ripple through crude pricing. The US also faces a May 1 congressional deadline to obtain approval for continued operations. A YES share in the crude oil high market at 0.4¢ pays $1 if crude surpasses $120 by

Solana Price: SOL Stalls Below Resistance As Pressure Builds

Solana is trading inside a tightening range as short term charts show pressure building near key resistance. SOL needs a clean move above the $87 to $88 area to confirm upside momentum, while a drop below $83 could shift focus back to lower support.　　Solana Triangle Setup Points to Possible 10% Move as Price Nears Apex　　Solana is moving inside a tightening triangle on the 1 hour chart, with price compressed between lower highs and higher lows.　　The chart shared by Ali Charts shows SOL trading near $85.82 after a pullback from the upper trendline. The pattern has narrowed through late April, which means volatility has been shrinking as price moves closer to the triangle apex.　　SOL 1HR Chart. Source:　　A breakout above the upper trendline near the $87 area would support the bullish case. In that setup, SOL could target the $89 to $92 range, based on the chart‘s visible resistance zone and Ali’s 10% move estimate.　　However, a drop below the lower trendline would weaken the setup. That could put the $85 and $84 areas back in focus, with deeper support near $82 if sellers take control.　　For now, the chart shows compression rather than a confirmed direction. SOL needs a clean breakout from the

Solana Nears Triangle Apex: Is A 10% Breakout Move Coming?

A crypto analyst has highlighted how Solana could be setting up for a 10% price move based on a technical analysis (TA) pattern in its hourly chart.　　Solana Could Be Following A Symmetrical Triangle　　In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has talked about a TA pattern forming in the 1-hour price chart of Solana. The pattern in question is a Symmetrical Triangle, which is a type of consolidation channel that looks, as its name suggests, like a triangle.　　The pattern involves two trendlines, with the higher one acting like a resistance level, while the lower one provides support. Like with other consolidation patterns in TA, a break out of either of these bounds can signal a breakout in that direction. This means that a surge above the triangle can be a bullish sign and a drop under the lower one a bearish one.　　The unique feature of a Symmetrical Triangle is that its trendlines are angled at a roughly equal and opposite slope. As the price moves through this channel, its range shrinks down to a midpoint.　　Like the Symmetrical Triangle, there are also other triangle patterns in TA. The Ascending Triangle forms when the upper trendline is parallel to the time-axis,

Sky Protocol (SKY) Eyes 36% Rally Toward $0.095 on Weekly RSI Strength

Sky Protocol (SKY) trades near $0.088 after gaining 28% from its February breakout, with the weekly chart showing bullish RSI and MACD readings that suggest the move has more room to run.　　The token has benefited from its rebrand from MakerDAO, and current technicals across the weekly, daily, and 4-hour timeframes point to continued upside as long as the $0.078 support floor holds firm.　　Sky Protocol replaced MakerDAO in late 2024, with MKR holders able to convert into SKY at a fixed 1:24,000 ratio. The official transition announcement remains the cleanest reference point for newer market participants.　　Sky is here.　　The best and easiest place to get rewarded for saving without giving up control.　　Weekly RSI and MACD Confirm SKYs Bullish Trend　　The SKY weekly chart shows the Relative Strength Index (RSI) sitting near 68, just below the overbought line.
