BitMart schedules formal platform termination

BitMart Earn and Lending

BitMart planned to cease trading-platform operations at 15:59 UTC on 31 January 2027 while retaining limited post-termination account and withdrawal access for a specified period.

This is a future scheduled event as of the 5 August 2026 review date and is not evidence that operations have already ended.

Forensic review discloses server-side seed transmission in staking flows

XRPH Wallet Staking

XRPL.to reported from decompiled and runtime-reviewed XRPH Wallet code that staking and unstaking flows transmitted user seed material to an XRP Healthcare server. The finding materially changes the historical custody/key-control risk profile of the yield facility.

CYA does not assert that this staking path caused the full September 2026 XRPH Wallet drain; the forensic investigation states that most drained wallets had never staked.

Smart Lending closes official website and My Page

Smart Lending

Smart Lending announced on 2026-09-02 that, following a comprehensive review of its future service policy, its official website and My Page would close on 2026-09-04.

The first-party notice establishes the service-site and My Page closure date. It does not establish insolvency, customer loss, a claims process or a withdrawal suspension.

MORE Markets investigates Flow EVM lending-reserve exploit

MORE Markets

Blockaid reported that approximately 15.5 million WFLOW left MORE Markets' mFlowWFLOW lending reserve on Flow EVM in an exploit involving an Ankr bonded liquid-staking token and the protocol's E-Mode configuration. Blockaid estimated approximately USD 9.3 million of detector impact. MORE Markets said it was investigating the exploit claim and would publish findings.

The USD value is Blockaid's preliminary detector-impact estimate and must not be presented as a final confirmed protocol or user loss. Root cause, bad debt, recovery and user compensation remained unresolved in the reviewed same-day evidence.

exploitCritical impactMedium confidence

Tectonic exploit affects Cronos lending protocol

Tectonic

Tectonic was reported to have suffered a major exploit on Cronos. Contemporary reporting estimated approximately USD 74-75 million in affected or attacker-controlled assets and described TONIC price manipulation followed by borrowing against inflated collateral. Roughly USD 6 million was reported bridged to Ethereum before Cronos validators halted the network; most remaining exploit-linked assets were reported stranded or frozen on Cronos. Final loss, formal root cause and recovery remain unresolved.

Neutrl discloses USD 27 million liquid assets and plans early redemption

Neutrl

Neutrl said a problem with a strategy position had impaired liquidity for part of protocol reserves, reported approximately USD 27 million in available liquid assets, and said additional strategy positions and associated PnL were not presently liquid. It said recovery timing, amount and recoverable value could not yet be confirmed and targeted an early-redemption mechanism for NUSD and sNUSD in early September subject to contract deployment, audit, legal review and financial review.

The disclosure expressly leaves recoverable value and timing unresolved. Historical reserve totals and the later liquid-assets figure must not be subtracted to infer a proven loss amount.

price manipulationHigh impactHigh confidence

MAMO Core Market exploit on Base

Moonwell

Moonwell's post-mortem describes an exploit of the Base MAMO Core Market that combined collateral-accounting inflation with MAMO oracle-price manipulation. Emergency mitigation sharply reduced relevant borrow and supply caps. External reporting estimated approximately USD 8.7 million of losses, while the protocol separately reported approximately USD 9.131 million of remaining borrower obligations after liquidations; these metrics are not treated as interchangeable.

Market-level incident. No single canonical loss_usd or bad_debt_usd value is assigned because the reviewed sources describe different metrics and scopes.

Withdrawals suspendedHigh impactHigh confidence

IZAKA-YA reported sequential transfer and withdrawal processing after individual reviews

IZAKA-YA

IZAKA-YA stated that it had not imposed a platform-wide transfer or withdrawal halt, that some reviewed transfers were completed on 2026-08-25, and that remaining cases continued to be processed after individual safety and transaction checks. This follows the operator's 2026-08-24 disclosure of temporary restrictions on some accounts.

This is a continuation/status update to the account-level withdrawal restriction rather than evidence that all restrictions have ended. It records the operator's statement and does not independently verify completion for every affected customer.

BitMart schedules cessation of trading services

BitMart Earn and Lending

BitMart scheduled all spot, futures, and other trading services to end at 01:00 UTC on 26 August 2026, with remaining positions subject to applicable settlement rules.

This is a future scheduled event as of the 5 August 2026 review date. It must be reverified after the deadline before being converted to a completed operations-ended event.

CryptoPanda ended its IZAKA-YA partnership and disabled IZAKA-YA-wallet-linked transactions

IZAKA-YA

CryptoPanda announced that it had ended its partnership with IZAKA-YA and that transactions routed through an IZAKA-YA wallet connection would no longer be available. CryptoPanda cited information raising AML-related concerns regarding IZAKA-YA as the reason for reviewing and ending the relationship, while stating that transactions using other wallets would remain available.

This records the loss of a documented transaction/off-ramp path and the counterparty's stated reason for ending the partnership. It does not establish IZAKA-YA insolvency, fraud, a platform-wide withdrawal halt, or independent proof of the underlying AML concerns.

Withdrawals suspendedHigh impactHigh confidence

IZAKA-YA temporarily restricted transfers and withdrawals for some accounts

IZAKA-YA

IZAKA-YA stated that it had identified some transactions suspected of involving illicit fund inflows or money laundering and temporarily stopped transfers and withdrawals for affected accounts while conducting safety checks and investigations. The operator explicitly stated that this was not a platform-wide withdrawal halt and that ordinary transfers and withdrawals could also take longer during enhanced monitoring.

This records the operator's first-party explanation and the existence of account-level restrictions. It does not establish insolvency, a platform-wide freeze, customer loss, criminal activity by any specific user, or that the operator's AML explanation independently proves the cause of every reported withdrawal problem.

Neutrl pauses minting, redemptions and protocol functions

Neutrl

Neutrl paused NUSD minting, redemptions and other protocol functions after circumstances affected protocol reserves. The protocol said the pause followed legal advice while it assessed the impact and did not identify the affected asset, venue or counterparty at that time.

This event records the operational restriction and reserve assessment. It does not establish insolvency, a realized loss, a hack or a smart-contract exploit.

IZAKA-YA announced the August 150 Festival

IZAKA-YA

IZAKA-YA announced an August 11–24 campaign advertising 100% annualized lending on selected terms and an additional transfer bonus described as an effective 150% annualized rate for qualifying users.

The 100% and 150% figures are preserved as issuer-advertised campaign formulas, not verified realized customer returns or evidence of platform solvency.

Claimant publishes XORA withdrawal-dispute evidence

XORA Finance

A claimant publicly described an unresolved XORA withdrawal dispute and published screenshots. The material includes a Binance withdrawal record matching a separately reproduced 29,899.8 XRP deposit to the XORA-attributed treasury with destination tag 287588244, and depicts two conflicting account narratives: a manual AML hold tied to that tag and a separate phishing/no-account explanation. CYA has not authenticated the support screenshots or verified the requested withdrawal destination, final settlement, or customer outcome.

The event date marks the first preserved claimant post publishing support evidence, not the date the withdrawal problem necessarily began. Event type is 'other' because the reviewed evidence does not establish a platform-wide withdrawal suspension.

BitMart Earn and Lending

BitMart announced that it would wind down trading-platform operations and discontinue Earn, Staking, Lending, Launchpad, and other products in phases under product-specific arrangements.

Goldfinch Prime redemption completes as legacy protocol remains in recovery mode

Goldfinch

Goldfinch reported that Goldfinch Prime investors had been fully redeemed, no new deposits would be accepted and the Prime contract had been paused. The same update distinguished Prime from the legacy Goldfinch V1 deals, where repayments and recovery work remained ongoing. This marks a product wind-down and platform-wide transition to limited maintenance rather than a completed shutdown of all Goldfinch activity.

The event is intentionally bounded to the documented Prime wind-down plus legacy recovery transition. It does not mark all legacy pools repaid or the protocol fully terminated.

Internal-wallet return and service termination do not prove that every customer completed an external withdrawal, Kraken transfer, manual claim, or account closure.

Radiant DAO begins orderly wind-down and shifts protocol to maintenance and recovery mode

Radiant Capital

After prolonged post-exploit recovery efforts failed to restore a viable operating runway, Radiant Capital DAO announced an orderly wind-down. Active development stopped, borrowing was disabled across Core and RIZv1 markets by setting caps to 1, RDNT emissions were discontinued, and treasury usage was restricted to essential operations. The protocol was not immediately shut down: the front end, immutable contracts, withdrawals, repayments, position management, remediation portal and recovery work were retained in a reduced maintenance state.

This is a wind-down transition rather than completed operations_ended. CYA should revisit the record after the announced front-end support window and if recovery/remediation infrastructure changes materially.

Kelp incident impairs Yay! Staking agETH withdrawal path

Yay! Staking

A Kelp security incident beginning 2026-04-18 affected the Kelp-dependent ETH staking path used by Yay! Staking. Yay! paused new ETH staking and warned that unstaking could be delayed because it depended on Kelp contracts. On 2026-05-18 the Always Gain agETH vault remained closed even after rsETH resumed, and around 2026-05-25 Yay! reported the vault reopened and unstaking/withdrawals returned to normal.

This is a bounded product/path-level withdrawal and unstaking impairment with documented recovery. It must not be generalized into Yay!-wide insolvency, project shutdown, or permanent customer loss.

Venus THE market attack bypasses supply cap and leaves approximately USD 2.15 million bad debt

Venus Protocol

An attacker targeted the THE market on Venus Protocol's BNB Chain core pool by combining direct token donations that bypassed the normal mint-time supply-cap check with exchange-rate inflation, thin-liquidity price manipulation and repeated borrowing. The attacker borrowed roughly USD 14.9 million in assets during the attack. After liquidation and unwinding, Venus reported approximately USD 2.15 million in bad debt, primarily in CAKE and THE. Borrowing and withdrawals in affected markets were paused and risk parameters were tightened while the protocol remained operational.

Gross assets borrowed during the attack and final bad debt are distinct metrics. The official post-mortem bounds the operational impact to affected markets rather than a protocol-wide shutdown.

cUSDO/USDC LP oracle manipulation creates approximately 49.3k USDC bad debt

Morpho

An attacker manipulated the oracle used by a Base Morpho lending market for Aerodrome cUSDO/USDC LP collateral. The attack created approximately 49.3k USDC of market bad debt. The market curator covered the shortfall internally within hours, after which no external lender loss remained and the affected market was moved to close-only allocation from the curator's vault.

The root cause was the market oracle design and curation, not a Morpho core-contract exploit. The bad debt was fully covered by the curator.

Euler V1 exploit leads to protocol pause, fund recovery and redemption process

Euler

Euler V1 was exploited on 2023-03-13 for approximately USD 197 million in assets.

The incident ended the normal lifecycle of the affected V1 deployment; the project subsequently rebuilt and relaunched under the Euler V2 architecture.
