On April 19th, Glassnode released a post indicating that the Unspent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) data of Bitcoin, standardized by drawdown, shows that short-term holders have already suffered a significant loss in this round of correction, a level comparable to the early stages of a bear market in past cycles.

April 19th. According to official information, KiloEx declared that its partner SlowMist has made two audit plans: 1. A full audit by SlowMist prior to KiloEx's relaunch: This audit is estimated to take approximately 45 days to guarantee comprehensive security coverage. 2. A preliminary permission audit by SlowMist: SlowMist will initially audit the protocol's permission mechanism to prevent incidents similar to the previous attack. KiloEx will determine whether to relaunch based on the outcomes of the preliminary permission audit. Subsequently, SlowMist will continue with a full audit of the protocol's logic and economic model. The required time is still being assessed but will be notably less than 45 days. KiloEx is aware of the community's eager desire for a relaunch, so it has decided to opt for option two - conducting an initial permission audit first. Once the audit results are obtained, KiloEx will promptly announce the timeline for the relaunch.
