COMP Recovers +36.6% in 30 Days With Volatility Expanding 2.37x — Relief Bounce After April Exploit Contagion
Compound (COMP) has posted a +36.6% return over 30 days ($17.42 → $23.80) while 14-day annualised volatility has expanded to 108.2% from 45.7% in the prior 14-day window (2.37x ratio), with 4 consecutive up sessions Apr 26–29 leaving it just 9.3% below its 90-day high of $26.24. This recovery follows a sector-wide sell-off triggered by the April 18 KelpDAO exploit, which caused COMP to decline 10% as lending protocols paused affected markets. The recent upside reflects a technical bounce as contagion fears subside, rather than a fundamental shift in governance dynamics.
