Pendle, the native token of the decentralized platform Pendle Finance, has surged 14% today to become the top gainer among the leading 100 cryptocurrencies by market cap.
At the time of writing, PENDLE was still up 13.5% in the last 24 hours exchanging hands at $4.38 per price data from crypto.news. The crypto asset also saw its daily trading volume double from the last day, hovering around $77.6 million.
Moreover, PENDLE’s market cap had also jumped to $683 million, ranking it 96th among the largest 100 cryptocurrencies. Despite the recent price rally, the digital asset is still 42% down from its all-time high of $7.52, reached on April 11.
The recent price surge comes on the heels of a security incident for the Pendle community over the weekend when their domain was hijacked. After domains migrated from Google to Squarespace, attackers exploited a vulnerability, taking control of several domains, including Pendle’s.
The Pendle team responded swiftly to the attack, shutting down their app upon detecting a malicious DNS redirect. They managed to regain control of the domain within 40 minutes, assuring their followers on X that the protocol and funds remained secure throughout the incident.
