Tether offers $127.5M to aid Drift Protocol's $286M Solana hack recovery and relaunch

Tether has proposed contributing up to $127.5 million to support Drift Protocol’s recovery after a $286 million exploit on April 1 drained funds from the Solana-based platform. Combined with $20 million from other partners, nearly $150 million will be used to create a loss recovery pool for affected users. Drift plans to relaunch using Tether’s USDT instead of USDC and will issue recovery tokens representing claims on the pool. Enhanced security measures and collaboration with law enforcement are underway to recover stolen assets and prevent future breaches.

Tether's USDT maintains a strong market presence with a market cap of Rp3.288,76 trillion and a 24-hour trading volume of Rp1.471,86 trillion on Pluang as of September 25, 2026, 00:22 WIB. The token's price is Rp17.880, showing a modest 0.45% increase over the past day. Despite the recent exploit on Drift Protocol, USDT remains actively traded, with 73% of order activity as sell and a typical hold time of 88 days on the platform.
