$AAVE UNDER PRESSURE AS CRYPTO HACKS SURGE IN 2026 ⚡

The first half of 2026 recorded 207 hacks—the highest ever for a six-month period. Losses total roughly $972M, less than H1 2025, but the attack count has doubled. Over 60% stem from smart contract and operational infrastructure flaws, with North Korean groups linked to 66% of stolen assets.

KelpDAO's $293M breach is sending shockwaves through $AAVE as liquidity drains from DeFi protocols. TVL has dropped to $70B, a two-year low, highlighting that operational security is now the industry's weakest link. Is this a temporary correction or a structural shift for DeFi?
