According to The Block, JPMorgan analysts stated that the frequent security incidents in DeFi and the stagnation of total locked value (TVL) in ETH terms continue to limit institutional interest in DeFi. The report mentioned that a recent cross-chain bridge attack related to Kelp DAO led to a loss of approximately $20 billion in DeFi TVL within a few days. The attackers minted about $292 million in unsecured rsETH and borrowed real ETH on Aave using it as collateral, resulting in approximately $230 million in bad debt. JPMorgan also pointed out that after security incidents, users tend to turn to Tether's USDT for safety.
