According to @PANewsCN, losses from the Balancer exploit have risen to $116.6 million, citing on-chain tracker Lookonchain as the source. According to Lookonchain data relayed by @PANewsCN, the attack spans multiple chains and involves transfers of WETH, stETH, and wstETH. According to @PANewsCN, the incident is ongoing and further details have not yet been disclosed.

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 @PeckShieldAlert, Balancer has been drained of approximately $70.8 million in crypto, including 6,851.12 osETH (~$27M), 6,587.44 WETH (~$24.5M), and 4,259.84 wstETH (~$19.3M) (source: @PeckShieldAlert on X, Nov 3, 2025). The alert identifies osETH, WETH, and wstETH as the impacted assets on Balancer, enabling traders to assess direct exposure in related pools and positions following the report (source: @PeckShieldAlert on X, Nov 3, 2025). By dollar value, osETH is the largest share of the reported drain (~$27M), followed by WETH (~$24.5M) and wstETH (~$19.3M), which can inform the priority of risk checks for ETH-linked token markets (source: @PeckShieldAlert on X, Nov 3, 2025).

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.

According to @PANewsCN, on-chain data shows Balancer’s treasury address transferred multiple assets totaling over $70 million to address 0xAa760D53...4675b8e3f (source: @PANewsCN). According to @PANewsCN, the moved assets include 6,587.44 WETH (~$24.48M), 6,851.12 Staked ETH (~$26.86M), 4,259.84 wstETH (~$19.27M), and other ERC-20 tokens (source: @PANewsCN). According to @PANewsCN, the transaction background is unclear and may be related to a potential attack (source: @PANewsCN).

According to Polynomial (@PolynomialFi), traders have only two days left to participate in the Polynomial Layer3 quest, which allows users to deposit assets such as cbBTC, weETH, wstETH, SolvBTC, or ETH and earn high APR, OP tokens, and multipliers with a single deposit. This limited-time opportunity is designed to maximize DeFi yield strategies and incentivize liquidity on the Optimism Layer 2 network. The potential for high returns and extra token rewards could drive short-term capital inflows into these assets, impacting their liquidity and trading volumes on both centralized and decentralized exchanges (source: @PolynomialFi, June 6, 2025).

According to PolynomialFi, Lido Finance's wrapped staked Ether (wstETH) is now supported on the Polynomial platform, enabling traders and DeFi investors to access advanced yield strategies and derivatives using wstETH as collateral (source: PolynomialFi on Twitter, June 2, 2025). This integration is expected to increase wstETH liquidity and utility within the DeFi ecosystem, potentially driving greater trading volume and deeper liquidity pools. Crypto traders should monitor wstETH price movements and Polynomial platform activity, as this development could influence Ethereum derivatives markets and overall DeFi trading strategies.

According to @PANewsCN, London-based traditional asset manager Abraxas Capital withdrew 270,000 ETH (valued at $700 million) from crypto exchanges within a single week, indicating a substantial investment shift into Ethereum’s DeFi ecosystem, especially towards liquid staking tokens such as wstETH and weETH. This large-scale withdrawal reduces potential exchange sell pressure on Ethereum, potentially supporting bullish sentiment for ETH price action. Traders should note the growing institutional interest in liquid staking products, which could drive liquidity and trading volumes in related DeFi protocols. Source: @PANewsCN

According to PeckShieldAlert, an address (0x92d7...8179) holding a long position of 1.3K wstETH and $789.64 USDC, with a total debt of approximately $2.56 million, has been liquidated. As a result, 555.24 wstETH, valued at around $1.37 million, has been seized. This liquidation event is crucial for traders monitoring the stability and liquidity of wstETH in the market.

According to PeckShieldAlert, an address (0x92d7...8179) has been liquidated for 1.12K wstETH, approximately valued at $3.27 million. This significant liquidation event may impact the wstETH market, potentially affecting liquidity and trading strategies for investors dealing with wrapped staked ETH. Monitoring further market reactions and price movements is crucial for traders.

According to @OnchainDataNerd, Metalpha, a Hong Kong-based crypto asset management company, deposited 10,000 ETH (~$23M) to Binance three hours ago. Over the past week, the company has deposited a total of 23,589 ETH (~$54.1M) to Binance. Additionally, Metalpha currently holds 38,000 stETH (~$88M) and 18,400 wstETH (~$42.88M).

According to @ai_9684xtpa, expectations of a U.S. economic recession caused ETH to briefly drop below $2150 last night. To avoid liquidation, a major ETH whale (address 0x1dF...A8eE9) sold 5,178 wstETH and stETH worth $12.84 million at an average price of $2481 over the past four hours. The whale still holds 24,651 stETH as collateral and has borrowed 30.91 million USDT. The health factor is 1.44, and liquidation will be triggered if ETH drops to $1823.

According to @lookonchain, Penpie was exploited for $27.3 million. The stolen assets included 2,695 rswETH ($6.62M), 4,101 agETH ($10.17M), 2,723 wstETH ($7.77M), and 2.52M sUSDe ($2.77M). The hacker converted all assets into 11,109 ETH ($27M) and subsequently deposited 1,000 ETH ($2.34M) into TornadoCash, a privacy-focused Ethereum mixer.

According to EmberCN, Penpie has suffered a security breach resulting in the theft of assets valued at $27.8 million, primarily consisting of LRT assets such as wstETH, agETH, and rswETH. The stolen assets were mostly converted into 11,109 ETH (approximately $26.95 million), with 1,000 ETH ($2.42 million) already laundered through Tornado Cash within the past hour. The hacker's initial funds also originated from Tornado Cash.
