An expert from Oak Security has explained what went wrong with the JELLY token exploit, which cost the Hyperliquid exchange $10.63 million. Reactions are still mounting from an exploit that cost Hyperliquid (HYPE) exchange’s users $10.63 million in losses. The reactions seem to have one thing in common, which is calling out Hyperliquid for its practices. Dr. Jan Philipp Fritsche, managing director at Oak Security, shared his analysis with crypto.news. According to Fritsche, the exploit wasn’t caused by a bug, but rather was a predictable failure, one that could pose a risk to other DeFi protocols as well. The JELLY exploit appears to be the result of a coordinated market manipulation by several users. Specifically, one trader opened a $5 million short position on JELLY, only to remove their margin. Hyperliquid was left holding the position, after which other traders coordinated a short squeeze. “The attacker opened massive opposing positions in JELLY, knowing that one side would collapse and the other would cash out. Because payouts weren’t capped and risk wasn’t isolated, the protocol ate the loss—and the attacker walked away with millions,“ Dr. Jan Philipp Fritsche, Oak Security Fritsche described the exploit as a “textbook example of unpriced vega risk”, a concept from traditional finance that refers to the implied volatility of an asset. He emphasized that many DeFi protocols still fail to account for this crucial risk metric. This isn’t the first time industry figures have criticized Hyperliquid over the Jelly incident. Following the exploit, Bitget CEO Gracy Chen called the exchange’s practices “immature, unethical, and unprofessional,” warning that it could become FTX 2.0 . Although Hyperliquid has pledged to compensate users affected by the exploit, the damage to its reputation may already be done. More importantly, the exploit has drawn attention to broader vulnerabilities in the decentralized finance sector. In 2024, DeFi exploits cost users $308.7 million in losses. That was more than rug pulls, which accounted for $192.9 million . Just days after the Jelly exploit, a DeFi protocol SIR.trading fell victim to another exploit, losing all of its total value locked of $355,000 .

Real World Assets (RWA) represent one of the most promising sectors in cryptocurrency, bridging traditional finance with decentralized ecosystems. While early projects delivered strong returns in 2024, the RWA market remains nascent, offering substantial long-term opportunities. Analysts, cited by Altcoin Buzz , project the sector could reach a $30 trillion valuation by 2030, driven by institutional adoption and regulatory advancements. Despite market fluctuations, RWAs continue gaining traction, positioning the sector as a critical investment theme. Clearpool operates the first decentralized credit marketplace for under-collateralized institutional lending, integrating TradFi credit markets onto blockchains to enhance liquidity. Its upcoming Poseidon Testnet and mainnet launch aim to further strengthen its ecosystem. Clearpool’s RWA Exchange-Traded Pool (Port) offers ETF-style exposure with DeFi flexibility. A regulatory license from Singapore’s MAS enables Clearpool to function as a compliant TradFi gateway. Partnerships with entities like BlackRock-backed Mountain USDM and Jane Street signal strong institutional backing.

Trump’s role in WLFI and its stablecoin USD1 raises alarms about political influence over U.S. monetary systems. As regulatory pressure builds, BTC reacts with caution, reflecting market unease amid growing government-crypto friction. With the growing spotlight on the Trump family’s expanding presence in the cryptocurrency space—most notably through Bitcoin mining and stablecoin ventures as CNF previously reported —new concerns have emerged over potential conflicts of interest and broader implications for U.S. monetary policy. This attention intensifies in light of President Donald Trump’s ties to World Liberty Financial (WLFI) and its upcoming USD1 stablecoin launch. California Representative Maxine Waters, ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee, has publicly raised concerns about Trump’s deepening ties with the crypto sector. Her primary concern centers on World Liberty Financial’s ambitions and Trump’s role as “chief crypto advocate”, with his son Barron Trump positioned as the firm’s “DeFi visionary.” In response, Waters has introduced a draft bill aimed at regulating stablecoin issuers in the U.S. The proposal mandates one-to-one reserve backing (such as U.S. dollars or Treasury securities) and places issuers under the supervision of the Federal Reserve. This bill seeks to address emerging risks to financial stability, ensure transparency, and offer consumer protections. A tweet from WhaleFUD adds to the discussion: JUST IN: Lawmaker alleges Trump wants to replace US dollar with his stablecoin — WF (@WhaleFUD) April 2, 2025 WLFI has confirmed that its USD1 stablecoin will be fully backed by U.S. government securities and cash, with BitGoas the custody provider. Co-founder Zach Witkoff stated that USD1 aims to bridge the security of traditional finance with the innovation of DeFi, offering a trustworthy alternative in digital dollars. Top Democrats, including Senator Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Maxine Waters, have called on the SEC to preserve all documents related to President Trump’s cryptocurrency dealings. This move further signals an intent to scrutinize the political and financial ramifications of Trump-linked digital asset projects. As CNF previously reported , Trump recently called Bitcoin “the greatest store of value” and a hedge against real estate. Against this backdrop of political tension, Bitcoin (BTC) has experienced notable volatility. As of now, Bitcoin is trading at approximately $83,730, down 1.51% over the past 24 hours and 4.32% over the past week, illustrating the crypto market’s sensitivity to political and macroeconomic signals.

Sei Network officially announced the establishment of the Sei Development Foundation, a non-profit organization now headquartered in Manhattan, United States. This step is to make crypto a part of institutional life in a country that has long been known to be very cautious about digital assets. It’s not an easy matter, especially when we talk about bureaucracy and the attitude of US regulators, who are known to be fierce. Introducing the Sei Development Foundation, a U.S. nonprofit organization headquartered in Manhattan, the financial capital of the world 🇺🇲 Established by Sei Foundation, the Sei Development Foundation will provide the infrastructure required for institutional adoption and for… pic.twitter.com/iHm0Lg71wd — Sei 🔴💨 (@SeiNetwork) April 2, 2025 Many are wondering, why bother creating a foundation in the heart of the world economy? The answer is simple. Sei wants to ensure that their approach to crypto can reach institutions directly and in a structured way. This foundation is designed to provide support, access to resources, and education for developers and industry players who want to build on Sei’s infrastructure. So, not only for those who already understand the ins and outs of blockchain, but also for institutions that are still awkward about setting foot in this world. Outside of regular activities, recently, the Sei Foundation was reported to be exploring the potential acquisition of 23andMe, a DNA service company that has just filed for bankruptcy. They aim to secure the genetic data of about 15 million Americans by storing it on the blockchain. But the question is, are people ready to entrust such personal data to a decentralized system? This plan raises its own concerns. On the one hand, blockchain can provide transparency and protection against data manipulation. But on the other hand, there are big questions about privacy, ownership rights, and the legality of storing biological data on an open network. If this plan is realized, Sei could open a new gateway for blockchain use in a space that has so far been synonymous with laboratories, not cryptography. Furthermore, the Sei Foundation has also shown its seriousness in supporting a more open and decentralized science ecosystem. In January 2025, they launched Sapien Capital—Open Science Fund I, a $65 million investment fund dedicated to funding startups in the Decentralized Science (DeSci) space. Projects funded will be built directly on the Sei blockchain with investment amounts from $100,000 to $2 million per project. For Sei, this strategy is not only about cryptocurrency acceptance but also about moving science in a more open and cooperative way. Once kept in university glass cabinets, information is now available via digital wallets. Apart from the acquisition plan and support for DeSci, Sei Network has also made a technical achievement that is worth considering. The Sei network’s total value locked (TVL) in March was $1.6 billion. Even for a fairly new blockchain, this is not a small number. The Parallel EVM upgrade, which hastened transactions and opened the path for more DeFi initiatives to arise, caused this increase. Still, the price of the SEI coin does not fully reflect this success. SEI has swapped hands at about $0.1661 and had corrected 2.76% in the last 24 hours at the time of writing.

Compound’s Uniswap-style governance foundation aims to boost decentralization, legal clarity, and long-term protocol sustainability. Market optimism follows COMP’s governance news, while UNI’s price reflects the volatility of DeFi and its evolving governance impact. Compound Finance, a prominent decentralized finance ( DeFi ) lending protocol on Ethereum, is exploring the establishment of a dedicated foundation to enhance its governance and operational efficiency. As described in a recent CNF coverage, Uniswap’s model is referenced as a successful blueprint—where the UNI governance token enables holders to participate in protocol decisions and access various DeFi applications. This initiative aims to emulate the effective structure implemented by the Uniswap Foundation, fostering a more organized and decentralized ecosystem. In a recent announcement, Compound Labs emphasized the evolving needs of the protocol, noting the importance of a stable structure to support ongoing decentralization. The development of Compound v4 and growing community involvement have reinforced the necessity of a formal entity to coordinate initiatives and ensure legal clarity. According to recent reports, the proposed foundation takes inspiration from the Uniswap Foundation, which has played a crucial role in Uniswap’s decentralized growth and governance. Uniswap’s framework allows UNI token holders to propose, vote on, and execute changes to the protocol—a model that has enabled community-driven innovation. As described by ETHGlobal: Uniswap is the most renowned decentralized exchange (DEX) in the world, built on the Ethereum network. The revolutionary platform has transformed the way digital assets are traded, allowing users to swap tokens without the need for intermediaries or centralized exchanges. Compound Labs plans to involve the community in conversations about the proposed foundation, encouraging feedback and active collaboration. This participatory strategy ensures the foundation’s structure aligns with the vision of COMP token holders and broader stakeholders. The announcement has generated positive momentum in the market, with COMP’s price seeing notable gains following the news. In another CNF report , both Uniswap and Compound were noted as top-performing DeFi assets approaching new all-time highs. Compound’s move toward a Uniswap-style foundation signals a significant step forward in its governance model, reinforcing its long-term strategy for sustainable, decentralized growth. At the time of writing, Uniswap’s UNI token is trading at $5.98 USD, reflecting a 0.72% decrease in the past 24 hoursand a 13.22% drop over the past week. These fluctuations highlight the dynamic nature of the DeFi space and the impact of governance shifts on token performance.
