Ethereum liquid restaking platform Kelp and decentralized lending protocol Aave have taken significant steps to restore the backing of rsETH, including the burning of the exploiter’s rsETH tokens. According to Cointelegraph, Kelp DAO outlined a recovery plan for its liquid staking token rsETH, confirming that the hacker’s tokens were burned on the layer-2 Arbitrum network. The 117,132 rsETH, valued at approximately $278 million, will be replenished over two weeks from Aave Recovery Guardian, a multisignature wallet managed by the DeFi United recovery group and Kelp’s recovery safe, into the LayerZero OFT adapter. This smart contract facilitates the locking, minting, burning, and releasing of rsETH during cross-chain transfers. Kelp DAO assured that rsETH on mainnet and layer-2 networks, with a market capitalization of $1.5 billion, remains fully backed. This recovery effort aims to assist users affected by one of the largest DeFi exploits this year. Kelp experienced a hack in April, attributed to North Korea’s Lazarus Group, which exploited its rsETH adapter bridge contract, draining approximately $293 million. Blockchain security firm OpenZeppelin noted that no smart contract bug was publicly identified, highlighting an operational failure, a risk often underestimated in the DeFi industry. Kelp announced that withdrawals would resume "tentatively within 24 hours" after the first tranche is returned to the smart contract. All rsETH operations, including deposits, redemptions, bridging, and claims, will continue as usual once the contracts are reactivated. The protocol has completed a "security hardening pass," with bridging security now requiring four independent attestors and 64 block confirmations, while some layer-2 routes have been deprecated. Kelp is also migrating to Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) for enhanced cross-chain bridging security. Kelp, a notable liquid restaking protocol on Ethereum, is primarily built on EigenLayer, allowing users to deposit ETH or other supported liquid staking tokens for additional yields. The protocol’s total value locked reached an all-time high of just over $2 billion in September 2025 but has since decreased by about 26% to $1.55 billion, as reported by DeFiLlama. Cointelegraph noted that ETH derivatives traders remain steady and have not turned bearish despite recent DeFi exploits. However, spot prices have declined by around 1% on the day, with Ether dropping to a 12-day low of $2,260 in late trading on Tuesday.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) has indicated that ongoing supply disruptions stemming from the conflict in Iran could potentially decrease global oil supply by approximately 3.9 million barrels per day by 2026. According to NS3.AI, this reduction could result in supply falling below demand levels. The IEA also reported that oil supply losses in the Middle East have already surpassed 1 billion barrels. Additionally, the agency has revised its expectations for oil demand, predicting a decline of 420,000 barrels per day this year, as elevated oil prices continue to exert pressure on consumption and economic growth.

x402 developer jnix.base.eth announced the launch of a Batch Settlement feature. According to Foresight News, this function allows AI agents to manage funds in a single transaction using off-chain credentials for payments. Sellers can consolidate multiple requests into one on-chain transaction, resulting in minimal transaction delays and costs of just a fraction of a cent. The feature currently supports TypeScript and Go, with a Python version forthcoming. Each payment in the batch settlement can have a different amount, and transaction limits can be set to accommodate variable cost scenarios such as inference and computation. Sellers are not required to manage funds themselves, as deposits, batch settlements, and refunds are handled by intermediaries. The protocol supports any ERC-20 token, not limited to stablecoins.

Saudi Arabia's Gulf International Bank (UK), owned by the Saudi government, has increased its holdings in the Bitcoin treasury company, MicroStrategy (MSTR). According to Odaily, the bank's total shares in MicroStrategy have risen to 20,207, valued at $3.76 million.

On May 13, according to BlockBeats On-chain Detection, the HYPE token has seen a decline over the past week, dropping 10.7% from its peak as BTC remained relatively stable. The token's value has now fallen to around $40. The largest short position holder on Hyperliquid, known as 'Loracle,' has benefited from this downturn, with unrealized gains reaching $2.07 million and daily profits amounting to $1.28 million. 'Loracle' has shorted 1.2432 million HYPE tokens using 5x leverage, valued at approximately $49.92 million, with an average price of $41.8. This position was fully established after increasing their holdings on May 10. Meanwhile, the largest long position holder, previously speculated to be a 'HYPE listing insider' whale, continues to hold a long position in HYPE. This entity has leveraged 5x to go long on 1.38 million tokens, valued at approximately $55.4 million, with an average price of $38.67 and a liquidation price of $36.29. Addresses involved in these transactions are 0x8def9f50456c6c4e37fa5d3d57f108ed23992dae and 0x082e843a431aef031264dc232693dd710aedca88.
