Crypto hacks hit record $450M in two weeks, Bitcoin market unfazed
Large-scale crypto hacks totaling about $450 million across 45 protocols in two weeks — including a $280 million exploit on Drift — have so far not moved markets: Bitcoin prediction markets show near-certain odds for BTC above $60K on April 19 (99.9–100% YES) with 24‑hour volume roughly $19.6K in USDC. Traders appear unconcerned in the short term; Solana’s similar prediction market sits at 100% YES with no recent trades. The story highlights growing security risks (and AI-enabled attacker capabilities) that could erode confidence over longer horizons, but immediate market impact is minimal according to prediction‑market pricing and volumes.
