According to the source, a social post reports that Balancer was hit by a $70M exploit draining osETH, WETH, and wstETH from liquidity pools, with BAL down about 5% and concerns about laundering flows (source: user-provided X post). Independent confirmation is not provided here; traders should verify any exploit disclosures via Balancer’s official X account and community forum, and corroborate large transfers on-chain via Etherscan before taking positions (source: Balancer official channels; Etherscan). Until confirmation, consider de-risking exposure to affected Balancer pools, tighten slippage on DEX routes touching osETH/WETH/wstETH, and monitor BAL spot-liquidity, futures funding, and open interest for stress signals (source: standard DeFi incident risk-management practices).

According to Lookonchain, the Balancer protocol appears to have been exploited with about USD 70.6M in assets transferred out. According to Lookonchain, the reported outflows include 6,587 WETH (~USD 24.46M), 6,851 osETH (~USD 26.86M), and 4,260 wstETH (~USD 19.27M). According to Lookonchain, based on these figures osETH accounted for roughly 38.1% of the transfers, WETH 34.7%, and wstETH 27.3%, indicating the scale and composition of the reported outflow.
