Yesterday, @Paxos accidentally minted nearly 300 trillion $PYUSD due to an internal transfer error, then minutes later, burned the entire amount within minutes and explained the issue on X. Here’s the on-chain tx: 0xc45dd1a77c05d9ae5b2284eea5393ecce2ac8a7e88e973c6ba3fe7a18bf45634 Incidents like this aren’t new: back in 2019, @tether mistakenly minted 5B $USDT instead of 50M and promptly burned the excess. These episodes underscore why issuance controls, decimals handling, and emergency playbooks matter for stablecoin operators and why transparent, real-time monitoring is essential for everyone else.

@ethena $USDe's "depeg" was a @binance only flash crash, not a real peg break. During Oct 10–11 volatility, $USDe briefly hit ~$0.65 on Binance while holding ~$1 everywhere else. Ethena processed ~$2B redemptions in 24h with only ~30bps slippage, mint/redeem worked fine. What broke: • Circular oracle: Binance priced USDe using its own thin order book, turning a liquidity gap into a death spiral • Collateral cascade: Users with USDe/wBETH/BNSOL collateral in Unified Margin got liquidated as the local price crashed, feeding more selling • Volatility amplifier: Broader market chaos → record liquidations → order book collapse Bottom line: This was a CeFi infrastructure failure, a bad oracle design + collateral mechanics, not a problem with USDe's backing. It shows how venue-specific quirks can create phantom "depegs" in otherwise healthy stablecoins. Check out more insights on $USDe at Stablecoin Monitor: stablecoinmonitor.com/stable… The image below illustrates the mint and burn activity of $USDe during the crash week.

🚨 DeFi - How to Spot Red Flags 🚨 DeFi offers big rewards—but also big risks. Rug pulls are among the worst, leaving investors with empty wallets. Here’s how to spot red flags before it’s too late. 🧵👇 1/ Anonymous Team 🤷‍♂️: If the developers are unknown or refuse to dox themselves, be cautious. A credible project has a transparent team. 2/ No Smart Contract Audit 🔍: Legit projects undergo security audits. No audit? High risk. Even audited projects can rug, but it’s a key safeguard. 3/ Outrageous APYs 🚀: 100,000% APY? Too good to be true. If the rewards seem unsustainable, they probably are. 4/ Low Liquidity & Locked Tokens 💧: Check liquidity on-chain. If the team holds most of the tokens or LP isn’t locked, they can dump everything on you. 5/ No Clear Use Case 🤔: Does the project solve a real problem, or is it just hype? Empty promises and vague roadmaps are red flags. 6/ Centralized Control 🎛 : If devs can alter tokenomics, mint more tokens, or disable selling, they have full control over your investment. 7/ Social Media Hype, No Substance 📢: Paid influencers and bots shilling? Look for real community engagement, not fake hype. 8/ Suspicious Tokenomics ⚠️: Check token distribution. If insiders hold most of the supply, expect a dump. 9/ Abrupt Website & Social Shutdown: ⏳ If sites go offline or devs disappear, it’s a last-minute warning sign. 🚨 Final Rule: DYOR (Do Your Own Research)! 🚨 If something feels off, trust your gut. A missed opportunity is better than a lost investment. Stay safe! 🔒 #DeFi #CryptoScams #RugPull #Blockchain Follow @BlockscopeInc for more updates, alerts, and crypto insights. 🚀🔥

Are Crypto Trading Bots a Scam? Trading bots are tools to enhance efficiency in markets like crypto, forex, and other investments. However, scams often arise when individuals rely heavily on bots or invest large sums through unverified companies. Poorly programmed bots, rug pulls, or fraudulent operations can lead to devastating losses. Take Mirror Trading International as an example: promising 10% monthly returns, it collected $589M in Bitcoin from over 471,000 deposits. By 2020, withdrawals were blocked, and the CEO vanished with investor funds—only to be caught in Brazil in 2021. At @BlockscopeCo, we frequently see bot activity while analyzing crypto exploits. The key takeaway is to use trading bots wisely and vet companies thoroughly, and trust is earned, not blindly given. #Blockchain #Security #Bots #AI #Blockscope #Crytpo

The Blockchain Bandit: Active Again! 🛡️💻 On December 30, 2024, the infamous "Blockchain Bandit" resurfaced, consolidating a staggering $185M in stolen ETH into a single multi-signature wallet. This chilling saga, which began in 2016, highlights critical vulnerabilities in @ethereum's key generation and serves as a wake-up call for the crypto world. Now, after years of silence, the Bandit's latest move leaves us wondering: Could this signal an impending liquidation of 51,000 ETH, or is it part of a far more significant plan? 📖 Explore the full story and its implications: medium.com/@blockscope.co/th… #CryptoSecurity #Ethereum #BlockchainBandit #BlockchainForensics #CyberSecurity
