📌 TOPINDIATOURS Breaking crypto: Balancer DeFi Protocol Recovers $19.3M Hours Afte

DeFi protocol Balancer suffered a major breach on Monday, affecting Balancer V2 Composable Stable Pools. Total losses across multiple chains reached over $128 million, per PeckShieldAlert.

However, a recent update from on-chain analyst EmberCN said that liquid staking, StakeWise, has managed to recover 5,041 osETH ($19.3 million) from the Balancer hacker via a contract call.

“So, the assets stolen by the hacker from Balancer have dropped from $117 million to $98 million,” EmberCN said, adding that over half of the stolen assets have been converted to ETH.

Balancer Hack in Detail

Nansen analysts first flagged suspicious transfers of WETH, osETH and wstETH to a fresh wallet. The attack ran for a few hours.

According to Cyvers Alerts, the hacker began laundering funds via Tornado Cash. Later, the attacker started swapping the stolen funds for Ethereum, Lookonchain stated.

A DeFi researcher on X, outlined the sophisticated sequence of smart-contract manipulations. According to the deep analysis, improper authorization and callback handling allowed the attacker to bypass safeguards.

“This enabled unauthorized swaps or balance manipulations across interconnected pools, draining assets in rapid succession (within minutes).”

The hacker used a key Ethereum mainnet to initiate a series of transactions, followed by the consolidation of funds onto mixers for laundering.

Hours later, the platform acknowledged the breach impacting its v2 pools. “Our engineering and security teams are investigating with high priority,” Balancer team wrote on X.

“All other Balancer pools are unaffected. This issue is isolated to V2 Composable Stable Pools and does not impact Balancer V3 or other Balancer pools.”’

Further, one whale has responded to the incident after being dormant for 3 years, withdrawing $6.5m from the platform.

DeFi Protocol TVL Slump

Balancer’s total value locked (TVL) has halved from $442M on 2 November to $214.52M in less than a day, DeFiLlama data revealed.

Similar to the incident, in September, DeFi yield platform Nemo Protocol suffered a cyberattack that resulted in $2.4 million in losses as its TVL crashed 75% from $6.3M.

📌 TOPINDIATOURS Update crypto: 3 Years and 6 Months Later, DASH Price Finally Clim

Dash has surged past $100, marking a major milestone as demand for privacy-focused cryptocurrencies continues to rise. The altcoin’s strong performance reflects growing investor interest in digital assets that prioritize anonymity and secure transactions. 

Dash, one of the leading privacy tokens, is now benefiting from renewed market confidence and inflows.

Dash Investors Are Highly Bullish

The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator shows a sharp uptick, hitting an 11-month high in recent days. This spike signals strong capital inflows into Dash, reinforcing the ongoing rally. The increase in liquidity suggests that investors are confident in the sustainability of the upward trend rather than short-term speculation.

What makes this rally particularly notable is that the rise in CMF aligns closely with price growth, indicating a healthy market. Dash’s momentum is not overheated, and the steady accumulation phase has led to the token’s breakout above the $100 mark, a level unseen since April 2022.

Dash’s correlation with Bitcoin has dropped to -0.33, marking its second negative reading in the final quarter of 2025. This decoupling is advantageous, as Bitcoin recently slipped below $108,000. The divergence suggests Dash’s momentum is independent, driven more by sector-specific demand than broader market trends.

With Bitcoin showing mild weakness, Dash’s standalone rally highlights investor rotation toward privacy coins. The independence from BTC price movements could further help Dash maintain bullish momentum if macro market volatility increases in the near term.

DASH Price Jumps Sharply

Dash price has risen 231% in the last five days, currently trading at $146. This marks a 3-year, 9-month high and the first time Dash has surpassed $100 since April 2022. This highlights its powerful resurgence within the privacy coin market segment.

If current demand continues, Dash could rally past $150, eyeing resistance at $180 before potentially testing the $200 mark. Sustained inflows and favorable sentiment could drive further upside as investors continue accumulating the token.

However, if selling pressure builds, Dash may slip below $120 support, risking a drop to $100. Losing that level could trigger a correction toward $73, nullifying the bullish outlook and signaling short-term exhaustion in the rally.
