Chainlink CCIP attracts $2.5B TVL from LayerZero

Kraken is migrating its kBTC product from LayerZero to Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). This follows similar moves by Kelp DAO, Solv Protocol, and Re, collectively representing over $2.5 billion in total value locked. The shift is largely attributed to security concerns following the Kelp DAO attack, which raised questions about LayerZero's security standards. This migration signifies a growing trend of protocols prioritizing robust security and reliability in their cross-chain operations, potentially impacting the competitive landscape for interoperability solutions in the DeFi space.
