Lending

Lending protocols form the backbone of the decentralized money market, allowing users to lend or borrow digital assets without intermediaries. Using smart contracts, platforms like Aave and Morpho automate interest rates based on supply and demand while requiring over-collateralization for security. The 2026 lending landscape features advanced permissionless vaults and institutional-grade credit lines. This tag covers the evolution of capital efficiency, liquidations, and the integration of diverse collateral types, including LSTs and tokenized RWAs.

DeFi Protocol Stream Finance Suspends Withdrawals Following $93M Loss

DeFi Protocol Stream Finance Suspends Withdrawals Following $93M Loss

Stream Finance suspended deposits and withdrawals after an external fund manager overseeing the protocol’s funds disclosed a loss of about $93m in fund assets, it said Tuesday. The team said it has retained Keith Miller and Joseph Cutler of law firm Perkins Coie to investigate the incident. “We are actively withdrawing all liquid assets and expect this process to be completed in the near term,” Stream said, adding that periodic updates will follow as more information becomes available. Until the scope and cause of the loss are known, Stream said all withdrawals and deposits will remain paused. “Any pending deposits will not be processed at this time,” the statement said. Stablecoin XUSD Plunges as Traders Rush to Exit After Loss Disclosure The announcement hit sentiment across the protocol’s ecosystem. Earlier, its staked stablecoin XUSD broke from its $1 peg, dropping as much as 58% in 24 hours. Traders pointed to heavy selling on Arbitrum-based venues as confidence slipped. The disclosure went live around 12.45 pm UTC, in a window that also saw reports of a large multichain exploit on Balancer. While the events appear unrelated, the overlap in timing amplified anxiety across pockets of DeFi and accelerated defensive positioning. Within hours, aggressive XUSD-to-USDC swaps on Camelot and Uniswap drove XUSD from $1 to $0.92. As Stream confirmed the freeze on deposits and withdrawals pending the investigation, bids thinned and the price slid further. Between 6.00 pm UTC on Nov. 3 and 2.00 am UTC on Nov. 4, liquidations and arbitrage pressure pushed XUSD to about $0.43. No Evidence of Direct Exploit, But Leverage Concerns Deepen On-chain watchers framed the slide as a trust shock rather than a confirmed smart contract failure. They noted that trading activity on Arbitrum dominated the move, with no direct evidence of a protocol exploit at the time of writing. Concerns over backing intensified on social media. One X user claimed that on-chain data showed roughly $170m in supporting assets against about $530m in outstanding loans, implying leverage above four times. Those figures could not be independently verified in real time. Stream launched in early 2024 with a pitch of capital-efficient strategies that blend DeFi and traditional market techniques. Users deposit USDC into a vault and receive XUSD, which targets yield through activities such as lending arbitrage, incentive farming and hedged market making. The protocol has also worked with external managers when internal capacity is exceeded. The model helped Stream grow quickly through 2025, but reliance on external counterparties now sits at the center of the investigation

After xUSD de-pegged, the oracle data on Euler appears to have not been updated in a timely manner, potentially leading to bad debts.

Canadian Dollar loses ground below 1.4100 amid US Dollar strength, lower crude oil prices

Canadian Dollar loses ground below 1.4100 amid US Dollar strength, lower crude oil prices

The post Canadian Dollar loses ground below 1.4100 amid US Dollar strength, lower crude oil prices appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The USD/CAD pair gains ground to near 1.4070 during the Asian trading hours on Tuesday. The US Dollar (USD) strengthens against the Canadian Dollar (CAD) as traders dial back bets for further Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cuts. Traders will keep an eye on Canada’s Merchandise Trade data and Fedspeak later on Tuesday.  The Fed lowered the target for its key lending rate by 25 basis points (bps) at its October meeting last week, putting it in a range of 3.75% to 4.0%. During the press conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell delivered hawkish comments, saying that the labor market was “less dynamic and somewhat softer” than earlier this year.  Powell signaled that a further reduction in the policy rate at the December meeting is not a foregone conclusion. This, in turn, could lift the USD against the CAD in the near term. Traders now see only about a 70% chance of a cut in December, down from 93% a week ago, according to the CME FedWatch tool.  Meanwhile, crude oil prices fall as concerns over a looming supply glut persisted, weighing on the commodity-linked Loonie and acting as a tailwind for the pair. It’s worth noting that Canada is the largest oil exporter to the US, and lower crude oil prices tend to have a negative impact on the CAD value. The Bank of Canada (BoC) cut its benchmark rate by 25 basis points (bps) to 2.25% last week, but Governor Tiff Macklem said he would be ready to respond if Canada’s economic outlook changed materially. This decision was the second cut in a row, bringing the rate down to the lowest since July 2022.  BoC’s Macklem noted that the easing was designed to help the economy deal with the disruption from US tariffs while keeping inflation close to the 2% target. The BoC will…

Aave DAO Makes $50 Million Annual Token Buybacks Permanent

Aave DAO Makes $50 Million Annual Token Buybacks Permanent

The post Aave DAO Makes $50 Million Annual Token Buybacks Permanent appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The largest DeFi lending protocol will continue to use revenue to repurchase AAVE tokens. The Aave DAO has approved a proposal to make its AAVE buyback program permanent, allocating $50 million per year from protocol revenue to repurchase tokens. The proposal, authored by the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) and revealed on Oct. 22, 2025, was passed with 100% “Yae” votes. The plan is part of Aave’s long-term “Aavenomics” to increase the value of the AAVE token and strengthen the project’s treasury. It also continues Aave’s previous buyback program indefinitely. Aave is currently the largest decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol with a total value locked (TVL) of $36.4 billion, according to DeFiLlama. It has recorded $12.7 million in revenue over the past 30 days. Meanwhile, AAVE is currently trading at $200.54, down 10.9% on the day amid a broader market downturn, per CoinGecko data. Weekly Buybacks Under the new plans, the Aave Finance Committee (AFC) and TokenLogic can buy between $250,000 and $1.75 million worth of AAVE each week. The amount will depend on market conditions and how much revenue the protocol is generating. “The Aave Protocol has demonstrated strong revenue generation and treasury growth,” the proposal reads. “With the expiry of the existing buyback initiative, and the strong success of the program, we think it is an opportune time to enshrine a buyback program to further enhance Aavenomics.” The move makes Aave one of the few major DeFi projects that will run a permanent buyback program funded by revenue. The AFC will also be allowed to use Aave’s wETH and BTC reserves to support new growth initiatives. A recent report by WisdomTree Prime noted that, in addition to Aave, protocols like Hyperliquid, Jito, and Lido are also experimenting with on-chain token buybacks or have proposed doing so.

A complete analysis of the Balancer V2 contract vulnerability incident: the whole story of the theft of over $116 million in assets.

A complete analysis of the Balancer V2 contract vulnerability incident: the whole story of the theft of over $116 million in assets.

Original title: "Established DeFi Platform Falls: Balancer V2 Contract Vulnerability Leads to the Theft of Over $110 Million in Assets" Original author: Wenser, Odaily Planet Daily On November 3rd, it was reported that Balancer, a long-established DeFi protocol, had suffered a theft of over $70 million in assets. This news was subsequently confirmed by multiple sources, and the amount of stolen funds continued to rise. As of this writing, the amount of stolen assets from Balancer has increased to over $116 million. Odaily will provide a brief analysis of this matter in this article. Details of the Balancer theft: Losses exceeded $116 million, primarily due to a vulnerability in the v2 pool smart contract. According to on-chain information, the Balancer attackers have stolen over $116 million, primarily in the form of WETH, wstETH, osETH, frxETH, rsETH, and rETH, distributed across multiple chains including ETH, Base, and Sonic. • Assets stolen from the Ethereum blockchain: approximately $100 million; • Nearly $8 million in assets stolen from the Arbitrum blockchain; • Stolen assets on the Base blockchain: nearly $3.95 million; • Stolen assets on the Sonic blockchain: Over $3.4 million; • Optimism on-chain stolen assets: nearly $1.57 million; • Stolen assets on the Polygon blockchain: approximately $230,000. Crypto KOL Adi reported that preliminary investigations indicate the attack primarily targeted Balancer's V2 vaults and liquidity pools, exploiting vulnerabilities in smart contract interactions. On-chain investigators pointed out that a maliciously deployed contract manipulated Vault calls during liquidity pool initialization. Incorrect authorization and callback handling allowed the attacker to bypass safeguards, enabling unauthorized swaps or balance manipulation between interconnected liquidity pools, resulting in the rapid theft of assets within minutes. Based on the available information, there is no private key leak; this is purely a smart contract vulnerability. Kebabsec auditor and Citrea developer @okkothejawa also posted, stating that "(the check error mentioned by @moo9000) may not be the root cause, because ops.sender == msg.sender in all 'manageUserBalance' calls. The security vulnerability may have occurred in a transaction before the contract for withdrawing assets was created, as it caused some state changes in the Balancer vault." Balancer has responded, stating, "The official team is aware of the potential vulnerability affecting Balancer v2 pools. Our engineering and security teams are investigating this as a high priority. We will share verified updates and follow-up steps as soon as we obtain more information." Berachain, which faces potential asset damage risks, responded immediately. Following the Berachain Foundation's statement, Berachain founder Smokey The Bera stated that "the Bera node group has proactively suspended the operation of the public chain to prevent the Balancer vulnerability from affecting BEX (mainly the USDe three pools)." • Have the Ethena team disable Bera bridging. • USDe deposits are disabled/suspended in the lending market. • Suspension of HONEY token minting and exchange • Communicate with CEX and other entities to ensure that the hacker's address is blacklisted. Our goal is to recover funds as quickly as possible and ensure the safety of all LPs. The Berachain team will release the binary to relevant node validators and service providers as soon as it is ready (this involves some slot refactoring, etc., and not just modifying the Bera token balance, as the pool contains non-native assets). For detailed on-chain information regarding the Balancer attacker, please see: https://intel.arkm.com/explorer/entity/cd756cb8-6a84-4f40-9361-f6c548544430 The Balancer hack has alarmed crypto whales the most. As a long-established DeFi protocol, Balancer users are undoubtedly the most directly affected by this theft. For users now, the following actions can be taken: • Withdraw funds from the Balancer v2 pool to prevent further losses; • Revoke authorization: Use Revoke, DeBank, or Etherscan to revoke smart contract permissions for a Balancer address to avoid potential security risks; • Stay alert: Closely monitor the Balancer attackers' next move and whether it will have a cascading impact on other DeFi protocols. In addition, a crypto whale that had been dormant for three years was among the victims that attracted market attention during this theft. According to LookonChain monitoring, a crypto whale, 0x0090, which had been dormant for three years, has just awakened after the Balancer platform vulnerability occurred, and is eager to withdraw its $6.5 million worth of assets from Balancer. On-chain information can be found at: https://intel.arkm.com/explorer/address/0x009023dA14A3C9f448B75f33cEb9291c21373bD8 Follow-up developments: Hackers begin token exchange scheme According to on-chain analyst Ember, the hackers involved in the Balancer theft have begun attempting to exchange numerous Liquidity Staking Tokens (LST) for ETH. Previously, they exchanged 10 osETH for 10.55 ETH. On-chain information shows that hackers are using Cow Protocol to continuously exchange stolen assets across multiple blockchains for assets such as ETH and USDC. Currently, the chances of recovering these stolen assets appear slim. Odaily will continue to follow up on whether Balancer can find the vulnerability in the protocol contract in time and recover the stolen assets or provide a corresponding solution.

PBOC sets USD/CNY reference rate at 7.0885 vs. 7.0867 previous

PBOC sets USD/CNY reference rate at 7.0885 vs. 7.0867 previous

The post PBOC sets USD/CNY reference rate at 7.0885 vs. 7.0867 previous appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) set the USD/CNY central rate for the trading session ahead on Tuesday at 7.0885 compared to the previous day’s fix of 7.0867 and 7.1226 Reuters estimate. PBOC FAQs The primary monetary policy objectives of the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) are to safeguard price stability, including exchange rate stability, and promote economic growth. China’s central bank also aims to implement financial reforms, such as opening and developing the financial market. The PBoC is owned by the state of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), so it is not considered an autonomous institution. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Committee Secretary, nominated by the Chairman of the State Council, has a key influence on the PBoC’s management and direction, not the governor. However, Mr. Pan Gongsheng currently holds both of these posts. Unlike the Western economies, the PBoC uses a broader set of monetary policy instruments to achieve its objectives. The primary tools include a seven-day Reverse Repo Rate (RRR), Medium-term Lending Facility (MLF), foreign exchange interventions and Reserve Requirement Ratio (RRR). However, The Loan Prime Rate (LPR) is China’s benchmark interest rate. Changes to the LPR directly influence the rates that need to be paid in the market for loans and mortgages and the interest paid on savings. By changing the LPR, China’s central bank can also influence the exchange rates of the Chinese Renminbi. Yes, China has 19 private banks – a small fraction of the financial system. The largest private banks are digital lenders WeBank and MYbank, which are backed by tech giants Tencent and Ant Group, per The Straits Times. In 2014, China allowed domestic lenders fully capitalized by private funds to operate in the state-dominated financial sector.

Animoca Brands Plans Nasdaq Listing Through Reverse Merger

Animoca Brands Plans Nasdaq Listing Through Reverse Merger

Animoca Brands, a crypto gaming heavyweight based in Hong Kong, has announced plans to go public in the United States by merging with Currenc Group. The move is structured as a reverse merger, with Currenc set to acquire 100 percent of Animoca’s shares. Once the dust settles, Animoca’s shareholders would hold around 95 percent of the newly formed public company. The deal is targeting a 2026 close, pending approval from both shareholders and regulators. Speed Over Tradition Rather than go through the longer process of a traditional IPO, Animoca is opting for a quicker route to the Nasdaq. This reverse merger gives them a faster track while still unlocking access to U.S. capital markets. Back in 2022, Animoca was valued at roughly $6 billion. Source: Shutterstock Now, the company sees this listing as a way to expand its reach and increase visibility within the growing digital assets space. A Massive Web3 Portfolio Animoca has built a wide presence across crypto gaming, NFTs, and blockchain infrastructure. As of September 30, the firm had 628 active investments across games, sports, digital art, and the metaverse. Its treasury includes holdings in major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, along with its own token, MOCA. That mix of assets and exposure gives it a unique position in the Web3 ecosystem. DISCOVER: 20+ Next Crypto to Explode in 2025 How the Merger Will Work Currenc plans to issue new shares to Animoca’s investors, which will make Animoca the dominant player in the new entity. While the agreement is still non-binding, it lays the foundation for what could become a major crossover between crypto and public markets. Market Cap 24h 7d 30d 1y All Time Currenc says it will wind down its current operations, including its digital remittance business, as part of the merger. Wall Street Is Paying Attention After the announcement, shares of Currenc jumped, showing that investors are intrigued by what this merger could mean. It fits into a broader 2025 trend where more crypto firms are looking for ways to list publicly, whether through traditional IPOs or alternative deals like this one. The enthusiasm points to a growing appetite for companies that bridge crypto with more familiar financial structures. DISCOVER: Best New Cryptocurrencies to Invest in 2025 What Needs to Happen Next Before anything becomes official, both companies will need to complete detailed merger documentation. They’ll also need approval from regulators and their respective shareholders. If everything stays on track, the merger would close in 2026, putting Animoca on the Nasdaq. All eyes will be on how the company structures, handles Currenc’s obligations, and sets its course as a public firm. A Glimpse Into Crypto’s Public Future This move reflects a larger trend within the industry. Crypto-native firms are increasingly finding ways to plug into traditional markets without giving up their Web3 roots. For Animoca, going public through a reverse merger could offer the reach and stability needed for long-term growth. For the rest of the sector, it might serve as a blueprint for what comes next. DISCOVER: 20+ Next Crypto to Explode in 2025  Join The 99Bitcoins News Discord Here For The Latest Market Updates Key Takeaways >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Animoca Brands plans to go public in the U.S. through a reverse merger with Currenc Group, aiming for a 2026 Nasdaq debut. The deal would make Animoca’s shareholders own about 95 percent of the new company, giving it control of the merged entity. By choosing a reverse merger instead of a traditional IPO, Animoca gets a faster route to Wall Street and access to U.S. capital markets. Animoca holds over 628 active Web3 investments across gaming, NFTs, and blockchain infrastructure, plus major crypto assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. This merger could become a model for how major crypto firms enter traditional finance, blending digital innovation with public market access.
