KelpDAO Exploiter Moves 50.7K ETH
KelpDAO exploiter transfers 50.7K ETH worth $117M to new addresses amid ongoing Ethereum exploit fallout, impacting ETH price prediction and crypto market security.
SourceThe KelpDAO exploiter struck again, shifting another 50.7K ETH valued at $117 million across two fresh transfers to addresses 0xD4B8...1530 and 0x62c7...C64E, as flagged by PeckShieldAlert.
This move follows the massive KelpDAO exploit three days ago on April 18, 2026, where hackers drained $292 million from the liquid restaking protocol on Ethereum via a compromised LayerZero bridge, leaving wrapped ether stranded across 20 chains—suspected ties to North Korean state actors amplify risks in the crypto market crash landscape.
On the ETH 4-hour chart, price clings to $2302.46 inside a bearish trend, with the EMA50 at $2311.67 capping upside as immediate resistance while the EMA200 at $2208.23 looms as deeper support. MACD signals a death cross at -7.56, underscoring weakening momentum, and RSI at 44.5 stays neutral—yet with price probing the upper Bollinger band at $2369.25, expect sellers to defend here, driving a test of lower support at $2270.1 before any rebound, especially as Bitcoin hype fades and liquid restaking protocols face scrutiny.
