DeFi analysts discover a pile of cash larger than a giant goldfish’s thrift savings. The sum? $284M. The problem? It’s all tied to a platform that just turned into a ghost town. 🤚
Stream Finance is currently under the gaze of investigators with more patience than a toaster left in a Vatican crypt. Researchers have meticulously traced over $284 million in loans and stablecoin exposure to this protocol, which recently lost $93 million. The result? User withdrawals are on hold-like a dating app that forgot to load your profile-and a synthetic stablecoin’s value dropped faster than a cooked bear in a tutu. 🤯
$284M in Risk: Because What’s DeFi Without Financial Rigor?
The DeFi group Yields and More (YAM) delivered a report so packed with numbers it might make an anioa-mad spreadsheet wizard weep into their artisanal kombucha. The bunch uncovered synthetic assets-xUSD, xBTC, xETH-that are vaguely tethered to platforms like Euler, Silo, Morpho, and Gearbox, like a particularly enthusiastic spiderweb made of dollar bills. 🕸️
Per YAM’s calculations, Elixir lent $68 million to Stream Finance-nearly two-thirds of its stablecoin collateral-while TelosC’s $123 million exposure is as awkward as a penguin in a sauna. 🐧
This isn’t a loss; it’s a massive loss. The question now is whether Stream Finance’s tokenholders will end up poorer than a bloke who bets his hat on a horse named “DeFi Winston.” Full disclosure: we’re still waiting for Limbs the Genie to explain this. – YAM (pronounced ‘why am’). 👻
Researchers warned the total exposure could be higher, because nothing in the DeFi universe is ever simple. It’s like a game of Clue where all the suspects are wearing sleep masks. 🕵️♂️
Synthetic Stablecoins: The Poetry of Debt
The synthetic stablecoins-like xUSD-are being compared by some to jenga blocks stacked in a tornado. After the $93 million loss, xUSD’s value plummeted from $1 to $0.33, which is technically a 67% drop and about the same as your morale after an hour of TikTok. 📉
Elixir claims it can redeem every deUSD token at $1. Stream says: “Not now, dear. Lawyers are coming.” – Elixir (whispers “We tried so hard”) 👻
Meanwhile, loops between Treeve’s scUSD and Elixir’s deUSD have confused even the most crass algorithm. Welcome to DeFi: where accounting is less of a practice and more of a dark art. 👽
Legal Necromancy and the Pause That Refreshes
Stream Finance has paused operations like a TV mid-commercial. The loss was caused by an external fund manager who apparently believed themselves to be God’s accountant-until God audited the spreadsheets. Now, Perkins Coie (the law firm that once sued a underground railway) is on the case. 🚂
Users later complained that their TVL (Total Value Locked) didn’t add up-and let’s be honest, that’s like saying your sock collection isn’t right either. 👟
As for when things return to normal? Only Limbs the Genie knows. Also, who trusts legal? That’s not a question-well, it’s a rhetorical question and a ceasefire. 🕊️
