DeFi Multiple Flash Loan Attacks Cast a Shadow, More Crises May Lurk Beneath the Surface

By: theblockbeats.news|2025/11/07 10:45:55

BlockBeats News, November 7th, concerns about a recent DeFi cascading liquidation causing a further liquidity crisis have been spreading in the crypto community. On November 3rd, Stream Finance suddenly announced a suspension of deposits and withdrawals, bringing a storm sweeping through the DeFi world to a climax. One of its external fund managers was liquidated during the market's intense volatility on October 11th, resulting in approximately $93 million in fund asset losses. The entire DeFi ecosystem may face a systemic crisis with an $8 billion Total Value Locked (TVL), with only around $100 million in losses reported so far.

The DeFi liquidity protocol Elixir has encountered a $68 million risk exposure due to this incident, while Morpho Cofounder responded to a part of the liquidity pool as "insufficient liquidity," stating it is not a systemic vulnerability. Yield stablecoins experienced the largest single-week outflow since the Luna thunder, totaling $1 billion, and the market capitalization of the star stablecoin product USDe issued by Ethena Labs has also dropped below $9 billion, decreasing by about 45% in the past month. To address the liquidity crisis, Compound has temporarily paused several stablecoin borrowing markets on Ethereum, and the stablecoin USDX under Stables Labs plummeted to $0.314 in the early hours of today. The crisis brought about by asset leverage cascade and opaque management may only be the tip of the iceberg.
