The $116 million Balancer exploit appears to have been months in the making, with the attacker utilizing Tornado Cash and advanced methods to evade detection. The onchain transactions of the exploiter behind the $116 million Balancer hack point to a sophisticated actor and extensive preparation that may have taken months to orchestrate without leaving a trace, according to new onchain analysis. The decentralized exchange (DEX) and automated market maker (AMM) Balancer was exploited for around $116 million worth of digital assets on Monday.

AI systems drive crypto fraud while the industry relies on outdated postmortems. Real-time transaction defense must become infrastructure. Opinion by: Danor Cohen, co-founder and chief technology officer of Kerberus In 2025, crypto risk is a torrent. AI is turbocharging scams. Deepfake pitches, voice clones, synthetic support agents — all of these are no longer fringe tools but frontline weapons. Last year, crypto scams likely hit a record high. Crypto fraud revenues reached at least $9.9 billion, partly driven by generative AI-enabled methods. Meanwhile, in 2025, more than $2.17 billion has been stolen — and that’s just in the first half of the year. Personal-wallet compromises now account for nearly 23% of stolen-fund cases. Read more

Stablecoin settlement times vary wildly depending on their blockchain. Purpose-built payment chains must remain open, or they will repeat TradFi fragmentation. Opinion by: Neeraj Srivastava, chief technology officer at MNEE When they first emerged, stablecoins were pitched as a revolution in payments.

While transaction settlement times have been significantly decreased, they still vary substantially depending on the blockchain used.  Read more
