⚠️ $8.45B WITHDRAWN FROM $AAVE After KelpDAO rsETH Exploit
DeFi stress test just happened:
**What went down:**
🔸 KelpDAO rsETH bridge exploit triggered panic
🔹 Users pulled ~$8.45 Billion from $AAVE in withdrawals
🔸 $AAVE processed it all without breaking - liquidity held
**My take:** This proves 2 things about DeFi in 2026:
1. **Risk is real** - One bridge exploit = billions moving instantly. Contagion is fast in DeFi
2. **Aave passed the test** - $8.45B outflows and protocol stayed solvent. That's institutional-grade resilience
**Lesson:** "Not your keys, not your coins" applies to DeFi too.
Check smart contract risk before chasing yield.
**Not financial advice** - Just observing how DeFi handles black swan events
Comment below do you trust DeFi more or less?
