CryptoWorld News reports that Standard & Poor's states that decentralized finance (DeFi) experienced a $292 million attack on April 18. Although facing systemic risks, it remains "bent but not broken." The attack affected AAVE, leading to a roughly 38% decrease in deposits in liquidity protocols and a 31% reduction in active loans. Despite the impact, the report projects that by the end of 2028, the market size of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) will reach $2 trillion. AAVE and a group of DeFi companies acted quickly, pledging over $300 million to stabilize the system. The intervention measures helped restore liquidity.
