Solana (SOL) traded around $82 after a 3.5% uptick, following an alleged $285 million exploit of Drift Protocol that the project linked to North Korea's state-connected hackers.

TrueFi (TRU) has delivered a historic daily performance, surging 193% to trade at $0.01274 as of Monday, April 6, 2026. This explosive move has seen the uncollateralized lending protocol massively outperform the broader market's 3% rise, driven by a staggering 6,247% explosion in 24-hour trading volume. Having decoupled from major DeFi assets, TRU is currently the top-trending low-cap mover, fueled by intense speculative momentum and a high-conviction technical breakout from its recent all-time lows.
