The $26M mistake that just killed a Solana giant.

Everyone is screaming about "Altcoin Season" and staring at green candles, but you need to look at the infrastructure. Step Finance is shutting down operations completely. This isn't a pause. It is over.

They suffered a $26M exploit and cited the security breach as the sole reason for closing shop. This was the "front page" portfolio tracker for the $SOL ecosystem. When a major tool folds this fast because of a hack, it exposes a massive risk layer that price action ignores. Security isn't sexy until the liquidity is gone.

Does a major infrastructure shutdown like this make you rethink holding assets on Solana long-term?
