Recovery settlements are substantially complete as of June 30, 2026 — pre-incident USR holders are paid 1:1 USDC and the RLP portal (opened June 9) distributes 0.71 USDC plus 2.71 RESOLV tokens per unit; however, RESOLV hit its ATL of ~$0.014 in June and currently trades at ~$0.015 (vs. the $0.03 reference price), reducing the effective RLP recovery to below 60% of the advertised target. The original USR product remains paused; the protocol is pivoting under the Vault Street brand to primeUSD — an institutional RWA product backed by tokenized T-bills (USTB, JTRSY) and Aave Horizon leverage targeting 5-8% APY — launched June 2026 with no published external audit of post-exploit security controls. The exploiter's ~11,400 ETH (~$25M) remains consolidated in a single wallet with no movement; claims across all categories close August 26, 2026.
