The governing-group exit is more consequential than the dollar figure: one of Cardano's three founding entities is stepping away from the coalition designed to coordinate treasury-funded…
Roughly 16M ADA drained from 374 addresses in three days, and the path forward runs through an unaudited third-party SDK that quietly replaced the wallet's own signing code on June 8.

Engineering milestones land alongside a 55% year-to-date slide in ADA and a $2.4M wallet exploit, exposing how far Cardano's technical roadmap has run ahead of the activity it was built to attract.
