Bitcoin bounce above $76K as KelpDAO DeFi hack drain $292M
Bitcoin (BTC) bounce back pass $76,000 after sharp drop, rising about 2.4% in 24 hours. Even though macro risk sentiment dey cautious because geopolitics tensions don rise again, analysts talk sey the BTC move look like e dey driven by real spot demand, supported by ongoing ETF inflows, no heavy leverage.
Major peers follow the strength: ETH, XRP and SOL climb too, and the CoinDesk 20 rise about 1.7%. Crypto stocks mixed — Coinbase and MicroStrategy up, while Circle and Bitmine down.
DeFi however scatter quick after KelpDAO hack. Attacker reportedly jand about $292M, then quickly reuse plenty of the value as collateral across lending protocols. That one trigger withdrawals and contagion fears. DeFiLlama data show DeFi total value locked (TVL) drop roughly $14B in two days to around $85B — about one-year low and nearly 50% below October peak. Aave (AAVE) see about $10B in deposits withdrawn.
For traders, BTC bounce fit serve as short-term risk buffer. But ongoing DeFi drawdowns fit tighten overall risk appetite, raise counterparty and liquidation concerns, and keep volatility high.
Neutral
BTC teknikal an money mata short-term dey steady small: price don climb back pass one important level, an di analysis dey point to spot demand an ETF money inflow, no be say e na fragile rebound from leverage buildup. Dis one dey support BTC short-term movement. But if DeFi side suffer big hack an TVL drop quick, e go weigh down overall risk sentiment, raise on-chain credit/liquidation an counterparty risk premia, fit increase market volatility an limit funds to reallocate to high-risk sectors. So BTC "price direction" no go necessarily weaken immediately; e go likely show as neutral range/sideways but wit higher volatility.
