Around five days later, the crypto investors now again showed confidence to trade Curve Token. 

Curve finance is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol, known as the best stablecoin trading platform. 6 days ago, this platform faced a hack attack and in that attack, the hacker successfully drained nearly $52 million worth of funds from the Curve pool. 

A number of stablepools (alETH/msETH/pETH) using Vyper 0.2.15 have been exploited as a result of a malfunctioning reentrancy lock. We are assessing the situation and will update the community as things develop.Other pools are safe. https://t.co/eWy2d3cDDj

Egorov used the funds to reduce the risk of a liquidity crisis on the platform. He is getting huge appreciation in the crypto community but the crypto traders were failing to show confidence with curve DAO token (CRV).

Curve Finance founder repaid $42.41 million in debts so far.

Anonymous hacker kept 10% of the stolen funds and returned the rest of the funds to the platform and said that he returned the funds because he doesn’t want to destroy the platform. After all, that will result in a very big loss for huge numbers of people.
