Compound price jumped by 6.4% despite a $25 million attack on its DAO governance. The dysfunctional Compound DAO was riddled with inactive members, which led to a sinister whale proposing and passing a $499,000 COMP grant for his team, the Golden Boys.
On-chain sleuth Ignas found out the problem also affected the Arbitrum DAO and noted that the issue of centralized DAOs is costly. COMP price hovered around $51.85 during U.S. business hours after the protocol reached a truce with crypto whale Humpy. COMP promises to surge even higher as bullish breakout confirmations form on its chart.

The Compound price has performed exceptionally well for a DeFi protocol that just lost $25 million from its treasury. According to CoinGecko, the daily trading volume is up 49%, signaling investors are taking an interest in the <a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/token/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">token</a>.
Data from Santiment also shows that the COMP whales became active after the recent spotlight on the protocol. Additionally, on-chain volume and supply circulation surged to near-all-time high levels.
