The U.S. government has withdrawn $5.4 million from the decentralized finance platform AAVE after an eight-month period of inactivity. This withdrawal is linked to funds associated with the Bitfinex hacker's stash, which had been earning interest during its time locked in AAVE. The sudden movement of these funds has raised concerns among cryptocurrency investors about a potential selloff, particularly among Bitcoin and AAVE supporters. Additionally, there are indications that the government address involved may have experienced a private key compromise, as it engaged in unusual activities such as approving yvUSDT for migration and transferring aTokens and withdrawn tokens to an unidentified hacker.
