Aave is having one of the worst weeks in its history. On April 18, attackers exploited a vulnerability in KelpDAO’s rsETH bridge and deposited the stolen tokens as collateral on Aave V3, borrowing roughly $196 million in wrapped ether against assets the protocol had no reason to reject at the time.

Anthony Scaramucci Puts Bitcoin Market Cap At $21 Trillion, So How Much Will ...
Anthony Scaramucci, the financier and SkyBridge Capital founder who briefly served as White House communications director, has made a bold case for Bitcoin’s long-term value. According to him, Bitcoin’s market cap is well on track to reach $21 trillion, and this is because of its fixed supply, its growing institutional footprint, and a monetary trust system built over 16 years without any central authority. But if Bitcoin were to reach a market cap of $21 trillion, how much would 1 BTC be worth? The $21 Trillion Logic Bitcoin has a fixed supply cap of 21 million BTC baked into....

Crypto analyst Kevin, known online as Kev Capital TA, said he has started buying Dogecoin again after the memecoin fell back to what he described as a major long-term support zone near $0.095.

Bitcoin Rally May Be A Trap As Whales Sell Into Strength
