🚨DEFI JUST PASSED A MAJOR STRESS TEST
AAVE has officially restored WETH collateral limits across six V3 markets after the KelpDAO rsETH exploit triggered emergency risk controls.
For a moment, the market feared another cascading DeFi contagion.
Instead, Aave contained the damage, stabilized liquidity, and reopened the system.
That changes the narrative completely.
This wasn’t just about one exploit.
It was a live-fire test of whether DeFi infrastructure can survive real attacks without collapsing user confidence.
Now WETH is operating normally again.
The biggest signal?
Protocols are no longer being judged by whether exploits happen…
They’re being judged by how fast they recover.
The next institutional capital wave is watching this very closely.
