Why would Kamino's token be affected if it wasn't hacked?
KMNO may face selling pressure due to guilt by association — its flash loan facility was used to facilitate the Allbridge exploit, raising questions about risk controls.
Did the attacker borrow from Kamino directly and is Kamino at risk?
The attacker took a flash loan from Kamino, but since flash loans are repaid within the same transaction, Kamino itself did not lose funds. The concern is reputational and possible regulatory attention.
Should investors sell KMNO after this incident?
Not necessarily, as Kamino's core protocol remains secure. However, the token might see a short-term dip, making it a potential buy opportunity if fundamentals remain strong.
