CRV : Time to LET GO of a Sinking DEX?Hi Traders, Investors and Speculators of Charts📈📉
One of the most important lessons you can learn in life is when it's time to let go. This holds true, even for crypto.
A recent hack caused a significant amount of damage to Curve Finance. As we thought the price of CRVUSDT couldn't possibly go any lower... CRV, Curve's native token, plummeted and is now nearly falling off my screen.
On July 30, Curve Finance was hacked for over $73 million worth of crypto. The hacker exploited a reentrancy vulnerability in Curve's code to drain liquidity from multiple pools.
(For Nerds): A reentrancy vulnerability is a type of exploit that occurs when a function calls another function, and the second function calls back to the first function. This can create a situation where the first function can call itself infinitely, which can lead to a denial-of-service attack or a financial exploit.
In the case of the Curve Finance hack, the hacker exploited a reentrancy vulnerability in the code for Curve's stablecoin swap function. The swap function allows users to swap one stablecoin for another. The hacker exploited the vulnerability by calling the swap function multiple times, each time withdrawing more liquidity from the pool. This caused the pool to become depleted, and the hacker was able to steal the remaining funds.
Reentrancy vulnerabilities are often found in smart contracts. Smart contracts are often used to automate financial transactions, and they are therefore often targets for hackers.
The anon hacker has since returned over $61 million worth of the stolen funds, but the remaining $12 million worth of funds is still missing.
AS YOU GUYS ALL KNOW, If you've been following me for a while , as soon as I see a > -95% drop in a coin's value WITHOUT a quick recovery... I can't help but lose faith. It's an obvious sign that the demand is lacking, the project has no real interest from the market. I feel sorry for the team; they've been around for a while and it's a well-know project. This hack was really the last thing that they needed. BUT, it happened and unless they can come up with great new way to add value to CRV, I won't be holding any more CRV.
