ADA Wallet Hack & DeFi Security Repricing

A $2.6M ADA wallet exploit forcing SecondFi to shut down, combined with a Wanchain bridge hack triggering a 19% rebound in Midnight token and Hoskinson's call for ZK-based security overhauls, is forcing a sharp repricing of custodial and cross-chain security risk across Cardano, Zilliqa, and bridge-dependent DeFi infrastructure. Investors are reassessing exposure to wallet providers and interoperability protocols as high-profile exploits expose systemic vulnerabilities in non-custodial and bridge-layer security architecture.
