## Resource

Bitcoin holds seventy-six thousand dollars as DeFi faces its worst crisis in years following the Kelp DAO exploit. North Korea's Lazarus Group allegedly drained two hundred ninety million dollars, triggering fourteen billion in TVL exodus and exposing Aave to up to two hundred thirty million in losses. Strategy surpasses BlackRock IBIT in bitcoin holdings with eight hundred fifteen thousand BTC after aggressive bear market accumulation. Arbitrum freezes seventy-one million in stolen ether as laundering operations accelerate. Plus: Warsh confirmation hearing, Iran ceasefire violations, and why miners sold a record thirty-two thousand BTC in Q1. Critical infrastructure vulnerabilities, systemic contagion risk, and the weaponization of DeFi in focus.
