KelpDAO – The rsETH shock has put bridge risk back in focus across DeFi

📌 KelpDAO has become the latest focal point after an exploit drained around 116,500 rsETH from the system, equal to nearly $293 million and roughly 18% of circulating supply. Beyond the size of the loss, the incident has directly shaken confidence in the liquid restaking segment.

⚠️ The impact did not stop at KelpDAO itself. Wrapped rsETH across multiple chains was affected, while Aave and several major protocols froze related markets to contain further contagion, turning the story from a single exploit into a broader systemic stress event.

🔎 The market reaction was almost immediate as rsETH’s peg came under pressure. This incident is another reminder that in multi-chain DeFi, yields may look attractive, but bridges still remain the weakest link when vulnerabilities appear.

$rsETH’s bridge shock just exposed the weakest part of DeFi 🔥

The exploit drained around 116,500 rsETH, or nearly $293 million, and the spillover was immediate: wrapped exposure across chains got hit, while Aave and other major protocols froze related markets to slow the spread. What was once a single incident is now a system-level trust event, and that kind of pressure usually changes how liquidity moves long before the chart fully catches up.
