According to CryptoQuant analyst Woominkyu, the net inflow of Bitcoin CEX surged to 9,905 BTC, setting a record for the largest single-day net inflow in the past 30 days, which also caused the price of Bitcoin to fail to effectively break through the resistance level. According to Woominkyu, the most worrying signal is the CEX Whale Ratio, which surged to 0.707 on April 27, the highest reading in over a week. This means that the top 10 inflow transactions account for more than 70% of all deposits – a clear indication that large investors are actively transferring tokens to CEXs, likely in preparation for distribution. Woominkyu believes that the combination of whale-led inflows and rising CEX reserves suggests that smart money is preparing to sell on rallies. Unless this part of the inflow is quickly digested, the likelihood of a retest of the $74,000 to $75,000 support zone in the short term is rising significantly.

According to ChainCatcher, the Lido research forum launched a new proposal to suggest that DAOs authorize the temporary lowering of the first loss protection trigger threshold for EarnETH vaults during the Kelp event. According to the current rules, Lido Earn's protection mechanism is only triggered when the vault loses more than 1% of the open position. However, the proposal pointed out that if the shortage of rsETH is solved through DeFi United, the actual loss may be less than 1%. To ensure that EarnETH users are fully compensated, the proposal proposes a one-time exception in this event, allowing first-loss funds to cover losses below the 1% threshold. Expect a loss of around 400 to 600 ETH at the current residual borrowing rate. The proposal emphasizes that this move is a one-time arrangement for user protection, brand reputation, and business considerations, and does not change the general rule of 1%. The proposal also has a time urgency, as the rsETH event is expected to be resolved within 5 to 10 days, compared to the standard voting window of 7 days.
