CrossCurve Issues Security Update After $EYWA Token Exploit

2 min read
Key Points:
  • Hackers extracted $EYWA tokens, exploit contained by CrossCurve’s security.
  • Users’ $EYWA tokens are secure and freezing employed.
  • Market watches for regulatory responses, security enhancements expected.

CrossCurve’s recent security update confirmed the containment of an $EYWA token exploit on the Ethereum network, ensuring user funds remain safe, as reported on February 2nd.

The incident underlines ongoing vulnerabilities in DeFi protocols, impacting $EYWA prices and prompting security measures across exchanges to prevent further token misuse.

CrossCurve Halts $EYWA Exploit Using Strategic Freezing

CrossCurve’s security update confirmed that hackers extracted $EYWA tokens, but these remained unusable due to frozen deposits on XT Exchange. The protocol involved consensus validation through Axelar, LayerZero, and EYWA oracles. Actions taken include contacting all centralized exchanges to prevent the sale of compromised tokens, ensuring they do not affect supply circulation. Cross Curve Finance Updates and Insights state that all user funds on the Arbitrum network were declared safe.

Reactions included statements from Curve Finance, a key partner, advising users to reassess their positions in EYWA-related pools. CrossCurve posted a 10% bounty offer for fund retrieval, encouraging cooperation from the attacker.

DeFi Community Reacts Amid Regulatory Concerns and Security Enhancements

Did you know? The security vulnerability incident mirrors the 2022 Nomad bridge hack, which drained $190 million. This suggests persistent risks in cross-chain protocols, highlighting the necessity for better security measures.

According to Coincu’s research, thorough security refinement is likely for technological advancement. Despite freezing measures, stakeholders anticipate regulatory scrutiny to intensify, with a focus on bridging security gaps in DeFi projects. Insights from CoinMarketCap also cite that EYWA’s current price stands at $0.00, reflecting a significant market impact.

The FDA Is Trying To Make Corporate Free Speech Situational

The post The FDA Is Trying To Make Corporate Free Speech Situational appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BENSENVILLE, ILLINOIS – SEPTEMBER 10: Flanked by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi (rear), and FDA Commissioner Marty Makary (R), Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speaks to the press outside Midwest Distribution after it was raided by federal agents on September 10, 2025 in Bensenville, Illinois. According to the company, various e-liquids were seized in the raid. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images) Getty Images While running for President in 2008, Barack Obama famously chanted “Yes we can.” Love or hate his political views, Obama’s politics were quite effective. He was asking voters to think big, to envision a much better future. Advertisers no doubt approved. That’s because ads routinely evoke things not as they are, but as they could be. Gyms and exercise equipment companies don’t promote their locations and equipment with flabby, lumbering people, rather their ads show fit, upright, energetic individuals. A look ahead. Restaurants do the same with ads showing happy people enjoying impressively put together plates of food. Conversely, ads meant to convince smokers to quit have not infrequently shown the worst of the worst future downsides of the habit. The nature of advertising comes to mind as FDA commissioner Marty Makary puzzlingly brags that “The Trump Administration Is Taking On Big Pharma” in the New York Times. Makary laments pharmaceutical ads that “are filled with dancing patients, glowing smiles and catch jingles that drown out the fine print.” Not explained is whether Makary would be happier if drug companies placed ads with immobile patients, frowns, and funereal music. Seriously, what does he expect? Does he want drug companies to commit billions to drug development to accompany their achievements with imagery defined by misery? Has Makary stopped to contemplate the myriad shareholders lawsuits drugmakers would face if, upon risking staggering sums meant…
