KAVA drops over 40% in one night: Official says issue is confined to Kava Lend, not unlimited token issuance; Korean exchanges have halted deposits and withdrawals. If you used Kava Lend, wait for an official update
Tonight (November 14), KAVA plunged. Its 24-hour low on Binance spot was about $0.0336; as of 21:25 Hong Kong time, it was around $0.0395, down about 42% in 24 hours. At 19:28, Kava said it was investigating abnormal behavior by a dApp in its ecosystem. At 20:01, it posted an update: someone had bridged KAVA on-chain to BSC and sold it. This was not unlimited token issuance, and the incident was isolated to Kava Lend.
Who is affected: Most directly, users who deposited or borrowed assets on Kava Lend, as well as KAVA holders. South Korea's Upbit has issued a trading warning, and several media outlets have reported that Bithumb and Coinone suspended KAVA deposits and withdrawals. Some on-chain observers say around 48 million KAVA were bridged to BSC, with some sold; the official team has not confirmed this figure.
It is important to distinguish two things: “no unlimited token issuance” only means that the total token supply was not minted out of thin air. It does not mean that Kava Lend users suffered no losses. The official team has not yet announced the cause or the amount of losses, or explained how affected users will be handled.
What to watch for next: an official incident report and compensation plan, and whether other exchanges follow suit in suspending KAVA deposits and withdrawals (no related announcement from Binance has been seen yet). Before depositing KAVA, check the exchange's deposit and withdrawal status, and don't trust “refund” links sent in private messages.
Do you still have deposits or loans on Kava Lend?
This is not investment advice.
