Kava investigates “abnormal activity” from a dApp, $KAVA plunges more than 60%

Layer 1 blockchain Kava announced that its team is monitoring abnormal activity originating from a decentralized application (dApp) in the Kava ecosystem, calling it its highest priority and saying an official update will be issued soon.

Amid concerns about a security incident and a trading warning from South Korean exchange Upbit, $KAVA plunged sharply — it is currently trading around 0.02673 USDT, down 60.76% in 24 hours, with trading volume of approximately 21.4 million USDT. During the day, its price ranged from 0.02507 to 0.06874 USDT.

📌 Knowledge corner: Kava is a cross-chain DeFi Layer 1 blockchain that combines the performance of Cosmos with Ethereum’s developer experience. It is backed by major investors such as Binance Labs and Framework Ventures. When a Layer 1 faces security concerns at the dApp level, the market often sells off first — because no one knows the true extent of the damage until an official report is released.

Do you think $KAVA will recover once an official update is released — or is this plunge not over yet?
