🚀 Penpie DeFi Protocol Suffers $27 Million Exploit
#Penpie #DeFi #crypto #hack #exploit #Pendle #ETH #sUSDE #USDC #TornadoCash #PNP #PENDLE #BTC #2023 #scams #digitalassets
According to CoinDesk, decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol Penpie, built on the tokenized yield platform Pendle, experienced an exploit on Wednesday. Crypto observers reported that the alleged exploiter drained approximately $27 million in crypto assets, including various types of staked ether (ETH), Ethena's sUSDE, and wrapped USDC stablecoin from the protocol. Blockchain data shows that the proceeds were later converted to ETH using predominantly Li.fi and forwarded to a new address, as per Etherscan data.
The exploiter's address was initially funded with 10 ETH, worth roughly $25,000, via the crypto mixer Tornado Cash just a few hours before the exploit occurred. Pendle confirmed that it identified a security compromise on Penpie's protocol and stated that it would maintain close communication with the team. Pendle assured that investors' funds are safe on Pendle but temporarily paused all contracts as a precautionary measure.
Following the exploit, Penpie's token (PNP) plummeted, declining 40% throughout the day, according to CoinGecko data. Pendle (PENDLE) also saw a decrease, down nearly 8% over the past 24 hours, underperforming bitcoin (BTC) and ETH's 1%-3% decline. DeFi protocols are often vulnerable to hacks and exploits, and Penpie's attack is the latest example. Digital asset users lost approximately $2 billion in scams, hacks, and exploits throughout 2023, as reported by De.fi earlier.#Penpie #DeFi #crypto #hack #exploit #Pendle #ETH #sUSDE #USDC #TornadoCash #PNP #PENDLE #BTC #2023 #scams #digitalassets

According to Cointelegraph, Starlink, the satellite company controlled by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, announced its compliance with a Brazilian court order to block the social media platform X in the country. The decision follows a legal dispute involving one of Brazil's Supreme Court Justices, Alexandre de Moraes. On August 30, Moraes ordered the suspension of X in Brazil after Musk refused to appoint a legal representative for the company's operations in the country. This decision was later upheld by a panel of five Justices.
In a post on X dated September 3, Starlink described the court ruling as 'illegal,' specifically targeting Justice Moraes. Despite expressing disagreement with the ruling, Starlink stated, 'Regardless of the illegal treatment of Starlink in freezing of our assets, we are complying with the order to block access to X in Brazil.' The company also mentioned that it is exploring all legal avenues to challenge the decision, asserting that Moraes' recent orders violate the Brazilian constitution.

According to Odaily, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced that Judge Mary Rowland of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois has issued a final judgment against Sam Ikkurty of Oregon and entities Jafia, LLC, and Ikkurty Capital, LLC, operating under the names Rose City Income Fund I LP, Rose City Income Fund II, and Seneca Ventures, LLC.

This judgment follows a previous ruling by Judge Rowland in favor of all CFTC charges, which included allegations of fraud and misappropriation of funds. The CFTC's lawsuit highlighted significant fraudulent activities and the misuse of investor funds. Additionally, the CFTC has successfully recovered over $18 million in digital assets that had been stolen from a court-appointed receiver.
The case underscores the CFTC's commitment to enforcing regulations and protecting investors from fraudulent schemes.

According to Foresight News, a white paper summary obtained by CoinDesk reveals that World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency project promoted by Donald Trump's son, plans to develop a lending service. This service will include a credit account system built on Aave and the Ethereum blockchain to facilitate decentralized lending. The project will also introduce a new cryptocurrency called WLFI, a non-transferable governance token.
The white paper and other reports indicate that the lending service is strikingly similar to Dough Finance, a platform developed by four individuals who are now listed as team members of World Liberty Financial. It appears that World Liberty Financial may have directly sourced code from Dough Finance, especially in its early stages. Dough Finance suffered a $2 million loss in a hacking incident in July.
Insiders have identified Zachary Folkman and Chase Herro as the founders of Dough Finance, who are now listed in the white paper as the Chief Operating Officer and the Head of Data and Strategy for World Liberty Financial, respectively. Additionally, Octavian Lojnita, the Head of Smart Contracts for World Liberty Financial, previously worked at Dough Finance.#WorldLibertyFinancial #DecentralizedLending #Cryptocurrency #WLFI #Aave #Ethereum #DoughFinance #Blockchain #GovernanceToken #HackingIncident

🚀 Ethereum Lending Market Sees Second-Highest Monthly Liquidations in August
#Ethereum #LendingMarket #Liquidations #Aave #ETH #Cryptocurrency #OnChain #Finance #MarketAnalysis #AAVE
According to Odaily, the Ethereum on-chain lending market experienced significant liquidations in August, totaling $436 million. Aave, a prominent lending platform, accounted for $289 million of this amount, representing approximately 66% of the total liquidations. This marks the second-highest monthly liquidation figure in the history of Ethereum's on-chain lending market, surpassed only by May 2021, when liquidations reached around $671 million.
The primary factor behind these unusually high on-chain loan liquidations is the substantial decline in the price of ETH. In August, ETH's price dropped by 22% month-over-month, with a peak decline of 35% at its lowest point during the month.#Ethereum #LendingMarket #Liquidations #Aave #ETH #Cryptocurrency #OnChain #Finance #MarketAnalysis #AAVE
