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.

Venus Protocol restores all services, recovers funds stolen after $27M exploit

Venus Protocol restores all services, recovers funds stolen after $27M exploit

The post Venus Protocol restores all services, recovers funds stolen after $27M exploit appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BNB Chain lending platform Venus Protocol resumed full operations after an exploit on Tuesday forced an emergency vote to suspend withdrawals and liquidations. The platform confirmed later that it had restored services and recovered the $27 million worth of digital assets compromised in the incident. The disruption began when Venus identified suspicious activity linked to a phishing scam, which was also flagged by several cybersecurity firms. As reported by Cryptopolitan, blockchain analysts had mentioned irregular transactions in the platform’s Core Pool Comptroller contract, which routes user assets vUSDC and vETH. Venus called for an emergency vote to pause services in order to limit losses and allow security teams to assess whether the exploit compromised Venus’ infrastructure.  Although users were unable to withdraw or liquidate positions during the hiatus, the protocol partially restored some functionality later the same day for them to repay debt and supply funds, actions that helped them protect their positions until normal operations could resume. Venus Protocol’s proposed plan for restoration approved Venus Protocol proposed a plan to its community to determine the immediate steps for handling the crisis. The four-stage plan was outlined as follows: partial restoration within five hours, recovery of stolen funds within seven hours, a full security review within 24 hours, and the eventual resumption of all services once checks were completed. Voting ended at around 5 PM UTC, with the community voting “100% to proceed,” the protocol announced. “We are so thankful for your support, and will proceed with the execution,” the team wrote on X. By 9:58 PM UTC, Venus confirmed that the plan had been completed successfully.  “Venus Protocol has been fully restored, withdrawals and liquidations resumed. The lost funds have been recovered under Venus’ protection,” the platform said. Update: Venus Protocol has been fully restored (withdrawals and liquidations resumed)…

How Crypto Assets Bootstrap Their Way to Billions

How Crypto Assets Bootstrap Their Way to Billions

Crypto assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana derive value not from physical backing but from scarcity, trust, and network incentives. Much like gold or tulips in history, their worth is shaped by collective belief and perceived future value. Bitcoin’s fixed supply, security through mining, and decentralization reinforce its role as a store of value, while newer assets bootstrap adoption with incentives like ICOs and airdrops. Ultimately, crypto’s value emerges from the interplay of technology, trust, and human behavior.
