It also creates yield-bearing opportunities for asset owners to earn passive commercial ventures on their digital asset holdings.<\/p>\n<p>However, the recent attack on its smart contract has impacted the price value of its native token, $LVL.<\/p>\n<p>Since the official announcement on Twitter yesterday, the native token has been down to 10.21% in price value.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:

worth $7.73 is trading below the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) price of $8.14, which signals the asset is bearish.<\/p>\n<p>The relative strength index (RSI) sits at 42.90, indicating the $LVL is slightly above the underbought zone of 30.<\/p>\n<p>Financial experts assert that the downtrend of $LVL was expected as the overall crypto market is influenced by news and social media

again.<\/p>\n<h2>Decentralized Finance (DeFi) Attacks Continue in 2023<\/h2>\n<p>Decentralized Finance has revolutionalized the conventional finance sector through the power of blockchain technology to avert intermediaries.<\/p>\n<p>This development has led to faster, more efficient, and more affordable financial services distributed to global functional ecosystems like health, technology, finance, and many more.<\/p>\n<p>However, despite its limitless advantages, the security of DeFi protocols has been less than desirable due to incessant hacks, loss of funds, and assets recorded across the nascent sub-sector.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the most popular hacks are Ronin Network&#8217;s<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.roninchain.com\/p\/community-alert-ronin-validators?s=w\"> $656M exploit<\/a>,

suffered from DeFi hacks has caused widespread uncertainty over the longevity of the ecosystem, with regulatory bodies now poised to step in and incorporate frameworks to prevent reoccurrences.<\/p>\n<h3>Related News<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/insidebitcoins.com\/news\/zksync-dex-merlin-reportedly-hacked-for-1-82-million-immediately-after-code-audit\">zksync DEX
