Opinion: DeFi TVL has evaporated by nearly ten billion dollars due to the KelpDAO hacking incident, resulting in a smaller "cake" for the industry

2026-04-19 20:27:59

Defillama founder 0xngmi posted on the X platform that the KelpDAO hacking incident triggered a chain reaction of panic withdrawals from DeFi lending protocols, even those on Solana that were not directly affected were not spared. The specific data is as follows: Aave net outflow of $6.2 billion (-23%), Morpho net outflow of $716 million (-9%), Sky net outflow of $272 million (-4%), JupLend net outflow of $76 million (-8%).

0xngmi added that the entire DeFi TVL directly evaporated by nearly $10 billion as a result. In such events, no one is a winner; it only shrinks the "cake" of the entire industry, and everyone suffers.
