According to initial on chain analyses, the attackers orchestrated a complex manipulation by compromising a protocol admin key. They first created a phantom token, the CarbonVote <a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/learn\/crypto\/bitget-token-bgb\/\">Token<\/a> (CVT), before manipulating its price through wash trading to artificially inflate its value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Earlier today, a malicious actor gained unauthorized access to Drift Protocol through a novel attack involving durable nonces, resulting in a rapid takeover of Drift\u2019s Security Council administrative powers.<br><br>This was a highly sophisticated operation that appears to have involved\u2026<\/p>&mdash; Drift (@DriftProtocol) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DriftProtocol\/status\/2039564437795836039?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 2, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the token was fraudulently listed as a spot market on the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/crypto-investing\/exchange\/top-exchanges-dex\/\">DEX<\/a><\/strong>, the hackers bypassed the withdrawal limits. By depositing their worthless token as collateral, they managed to drain nearly 20 different vaults. In just 12 minutes, millions of <strong>USDC<\/strong>, SOL, and <strong>JLP<\/strong> were siphoned off, causing a brutal drop in the protocol&#8217;s <strong>TVL<\/strong> (Total Value Locked).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, Drift Protocol announced this Thursday that a malicious actor had <strong>taken control of its Security Council<\/strong>. The operation was a formidable combination of pre-signed transactions and <strong>multisig approvals (2\/5)<\/strong>, likely obtained through social engineering or fraudulent misrepresentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the DSOL validator funds and the insurance fund remain out of reach, <strong>the entire protocol was frozen as an emergency measure<\/strong>, the compromised multisig was updated, and a massive investigation was launched alongside security firms, exchanges, and authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This latest episode serves as a stark reminder that even on solid technical infrastructures, <strong>human governance<\/strong> remains the weakest link in DeFi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"drift-token-in-freefall-and-circle-does-nothing\">DRIFT token in freefall and Circle does nothing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The market reaction was swift. Already in a tough spot, the platform&#8217;s native token suffered a bloodbath, losing over 38% of its value in the hours following the announcement. This massive selloff reflects a total loss of confidence among liquidity providers, who rushed to close their positions and flee the platform in a panic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"764\" src=\"https:\/\/media.investx.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/04\/02105230\/DRIFTUSDT_2026-04-02_09-28-58-1024x764-1.jpg\" alt=\"DRIFT price chart with DCVD and RSI indicators\" class=\"wp-image-27962\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.investx.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/04\/02105230\/DRIFTUSDT_2026-04-02_09-28-58-1024x764-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.investx.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/04\/02105230\/DRIFTUSDT_2026-04-02_09-28-58-1024x764-1-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.investx.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/04\/02105230\/DRIFTUSDT_2026-04-02_09-28-58-1024x764-1-768x573.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the hackers wasted no time. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/learn\/blockchain\/pow-vs-pos\/\">Blockchain<\/a><\/strong> data shows that the loot was quickly converted via decentralized aggregators before being transferred to the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/crypto-investing\/buy\/ethereum\/\">Ethereum<\/a><\/strong> blockchain.

As the market grows increasingly tense, this event casts a chilling shadow over Solana DeFi. Investors now fear a contagion effect on other protocols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Solana has proven its resilience in the past following major crises, the selling pressure on SOL could intensify in the short term. Traders are closely monitoring a potential downside breakout if the <strong>key $70 support level breaks<\/strong> under panic. The Drift team&#8217;s ability to patch the vulnerability and propose a compensation plan will be decisive for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sources:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>X &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/KillaXBT\/status\/2039471983302218148\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">ZachXBT<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DriftProtocol\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Drift Protocol<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Tradingview<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/drift-protocol-halts-operations-after-suspected-285m-exploit-as-funds-move-across-wallets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">AMBCrypto<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related Articles:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/crypto-news\/bitcoin-price-drop-trump-iran\/\">Bitcoin price dips below $67,000 today: What&#8217;s happening?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/crypto-news\/bitcoin-oil-price-analysis\/\">Oil prices surge &amp; Bitcoin crash: Will BTC Hit $45,000?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/crypto-news\/pi-network-launchpad\/\">Will Pi Network&#8217;s new launchpad revolutionize the PI ecosystem?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drift Protocol suspends operations after a $285 million hack.
