Ethereum weakens after major DeFi exploit triggers sell pressure
Ethereum traded below the $3,600 mark after a significant decentralized finance exploit caused abrupt outflows from multiple liquidity pools. Market participants reported rapid on-chain movement as investors attempted to derisk ahead of potential contagion across smaller protocols. Developers and security firms have begun forensic analysis to assess the scale of the breach, while exchanges tightened monitoring for atypical flows. 
The decline underscores persisting vulnerabilities within DeFi architecture and revived debate around protocol-level security gaps. Broader crypto market sentiment also softened, with traders reducing leverage across key derivatives venues.
