$290M Kelp DAO hack raises AI threat concerns, Bitcoin may dip to $60K in April

A $290M hack on Kelp DAO using AI models has spooked traders, raising concerns that AI, not quantum computing, is the real crypto threat. Bitcoin dipping to $60,000 in April is now more probable, with increased fear and uncertainty in the market.

The hack has hit Bitcoin price markets directly. The possibility of Bitcoin dropping to $60,000 by the end of April looks increasingly feasible. Traders are wary, as fear of further AI-driven attacks could trigger a sell-off. Expectations for another $100M+ crypto hack by December 31 have reached 100% YES, a signal that the market treats AI-enabled crypto exploits as a near-certainty going forward.

The volume numbers tell their own story. Combined 24-hour volumes for Bitcoin price on April 24 show $119,727 in face value but only $18,346 in actual USDC traded. Interest is there, but actual financial commitments remain cautious. For the crypto hack market, no actual volume has been reported, meaning the sentiment is driven by fear rather than active trading.

This matters because AI as a threat to crypto security represents a different kind of risk than the quantum computing scenarios that have long dominated discussion. AI-enabled exploits like the Kelp DAO hack are happening now, not in some theoretical future. At 100% YES, the market prices in inevitability. For traders watching Bitcoin’s price, the dip to $60,000 presents a betting opportunity: a YES share could offer a significant return if fears materialize into an actual price drop.

Keep an eye on security firm updates and any further AI-driven attacks. Watch also for statements from major exchanges and DeFi protocols on their security response. These will shape trader sentiment in the weeks ahead.
