Drift opens token claims for users who lost $290M in April hack, offering recovery via DFX tokens.

Drift Foundation has launched claims for DFX tokens to compensate users who lost over $290 million in an April 1 hack. Each lost USDT entitles the user to one DFX token, initially redeemable at about one cent per dollar lost. The recovery pool, starting with 3.1 million USDT, grows daily from the rebuilt exchange's revenue and external commitments, aiming to fully reimburse victims. Claims must be made by January 1, 2028, after which unclaimed tokens will be burned, and users can trade or hold their DFX tokens.

Tether USDT maintains a substantial market cap of Rp3.293,85 trillion and a 24-hour trading volume of Rp1.541,25 trillion on Pluang as of Oct 02, 2026, 16:52 WIB. Despite a slight 0.50% price dip in the last day, USDT remains a key stablecoin for transactions and settlements, relevant to the Drift Foundation's DFX token recovery plan for users affected by the April hack. The platform shows a balanced order activity with 59% buys and 41% sells, reflecting ongoing user engagement with USDT amid the recovery efforts.
