Ether.fi CEO Mike Silagadze has addressed the decision to contribute 5,000 ETH to the Kelp hack recovery fund. According to Odaily, Silagadze expressed concerns about the potential risk the incident poses to the entire DeFi ecosystem. He warned that if Kelp were to go bankrupt, $1.5 billion worth of rsETH could be frozen for an extended period, potentially halting the $30 billion Aave lending market and triggering a chain reaction affecting both DeFi and CeFi sectors. Silagadze compared the situation to the FTX collapse, suggesting it could be more significant. He emphasized the importance of taking responsibility and quickly raising funds to prevent the worst-case scenario, contrasting this proactive approach with other institutions that have opted to rely on legal solutions.
