Weekly Commentary
ProWeek of May 17, 2026
Vectis Finance holds $6.3M TVL, stabilized following the April 1, 2026 Drift Protocol exploit ($285M, DPRK-linked admin key compromise) that cut TVL from ~$30M peak. The 30-day zero-fee withdrawal window expires May 18, 2026. As of mid-May, Drift has not yet relaunched — the protocol targeted a May/June 2026 return as a perps-only exchange, pending OtterSec and Asymmetric Research audits. Drift's $295.4M recovery plan (recovery tokens, Tether committed up to $127.5M, partners up to $20M) remains on track but projects ~8 years to full reimbursement at 2025 revenue rates. Vectis depositors with active positions should note the withdrawal window closure and assess exposure ahead of the Drift relaunch, which will determine whether Vectis can resume full delta-neutral strategy operations.
