Drift Protocol: No Evidence of Mnemonic Theft, Highly Sophisticated Attack, Weeks-Long Preparation

2026.04.02 13:04:04

April 2: Drift Protocol announced via Twitter that a threat actor executed a novel attack leveraging a durable nonce to gain unauthorized access, quickly seizing control of the Drift Security Council. The attack was highly sophisticated, prepared over several weeks, and involved pre-signed transactions for durable nonce accounts to delay execution. Ongoing investigation findings indicate the incident did not stem from vulnerabilities in Drift Protocol or its smart contracts; there is no evidence of mnemonic phrase theft. Instead, the attacker gained access through unauthorized or forged transaction approvals—potentially involving social engineering. The attack drained approximately $280 million in protocol funds. Affected assets include all borrowing, vault deposits, and trading funds. DSOL (assets not deposited in Drift, including those staked to Drift validators) and the insurance fund remain unaffected, with the latter tapped to provide protection. As a precaution, all remaining protocol functionalities have been frozen, and the multisig has been updated to remove compromised wallets.

Analysis: BTC futures demand continues to strengthen, whales are actively adding positions, and a rebound in spot demand could trigger a larger rally.

Yesterday, BTC spot demand was roughly on par with the previous day, while demand in the futures market continued to rise, exerting upward pressure on BTC prices. Currently, whales are actively accumulating BTC futures positions, and once they complete their position building, a larger-scale rally may follow. Retail capital is expected to enter the market after the first leg of the rally, driving a further increase in spot demand, which could trigger a stronger upward move. Analysts note that the market is still in the early stages of a bull run, and a truly large-scale rally will unfold only after BTC spot demand rebounds significantly. Recent market data also shows notable growth in BTC futures open interest and demand, yet spot demand remains the key variable to gauge whether the rally can sustain.

View: BTC's surge to $80,000 is mainly driven by short covering, with futures open interest falling to a five-month low.

BTC’s recent rally to $80,000 was mainly driven by forced short covering rather than a large influx of new buying. Glassnode data shows that as short positions were liquidated, BTC futures open interest fell to a 5-month low of around 587,584 BTC. A price rise fueled by forced short covering is distinctly different from active buying by new capital, with the former potentially signaling relatively limited sustainability of the rally. Earlier, when BTC broke through the $70,000 mark, over $4 billion in short positions were liquidated within two days, further amplifying upward momentum.

预测市场看衰贝森特「托市」:巴克莱称10年期美债合理收益率或达4.95%

Prediction markets Kalshi and Polymarket both show a higher probability that the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield will continue to rise this year. Kalshi data indicates there is a 56% chance the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield will reach or exceed 4.75% by the end of 2026, and a 27% chance it will break through 5%. Polymarket, meanwhile, puts the probability that the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield will rise above 4.8% at least once this year at roughly two-thirds. Although U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is attempting to push yields lower via measures including expanding long-term U.S. Treasury repurchases, the market response has been unoptimistic. Barclays strategists argue that factors such as sticky inflation, fiscal deficits, Treasury supply, and term premiums could still drive yields higher, estimating the fair value of the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield at around 4.95%, about 25 basis points above current levels. Additionally, rising Japanese government bond yields and increased AI-related capital expenditures may further erode overseas investors’ demand for U.S. Treasuries. Meanwhile, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield hovering around 4.7% has begun to create stiffer competition for U.S. stocks, and the market appears to be gradually shifting from the "TINA" (There Is No Alternative) era to the "TARA" (There Are Reasonable Alternatives) era.
