“We’ve been very vocal that our job as an Ethereum treasury company is to make our ether productive first and, over time, to maximize that productivity,” Joseph Chalom said. The new fund arrives as DeFi reels from two major attacks in April 2026. On April 1, North Korean state-sponsored hackers drained $285 million from Drift Protocol.
On April 18, 2026, North Korean hackers exploited a vulnerability in Kelp DAO’s cross-chain bridge, draining $292 million worth of rsETH. Hackers deposited roughly $200 million of the stolen rsETH onto Aave. The Kelp DAO attack triggered a $9 billion rush out of Aave.
Chalom views the incidents as catalysts for higher standards rather than reasons to withdraw. “The really interesting thing is, out of any financial crisis, whether in traditional finance, DeFi or other sectors, you end up raising the standards for the next wave of entrants and the next deployments and allocations,” Joseph Chalom said.
