The top coin on the 24-hour losers list, $KAVA , plunged 58.62%, while its contract open interest actually rose 7.9% over the past hour 😳. The next two, $ASTER and $SHELL , fell 22.62% and 21.84%, respectively.
This sharp drop may be linked to an attack on the lending protocol Kava Lend, with around 55.2 million KAVA borrowed and about $2.09 million worth sold across chains. Its 24-hour trading volume surged to nearly 6.1 times its 7-day daily average. Meanwhile, BTC was down 7.86% over 24 hours—this sell-off was clearly triggered by trouble with the project itself.
It’s now 62.1% below its 30-day high of 0.07237 and only 9.3% above its 30-day low of 0.02507. When a coin shows up among the biggest losers, you need to check why first: project-specific trouble is nothing like a pullback following the broader market. You haven’t been holding it, have you?
