The post Huma Finance exploit Polygon: $101,000 loss from V1 pools appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A Huma Finance exploit Polygon incident has put a familiar DeFi problem back in the spotlight: old contracts can stay dangerous long after a protocol has moved on. Huma Finance said roughly $101,000 was drained from its deprecated V1 BaseCreditPool contracts on Polygon on May 11, but user deposits were not affected. The attacker pulled out 82,316 USDC and 19,075 USDC.e through unauthorized drawdowns, according to the protocol’s disclosure. Just as important for users, Huma said the losses were limited to pool owner fees and protocol fees, not customer funds. That distinction matters.

The post Circle’s Q1 USDC revenue, profit dip; ARC presale wins appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Homepage > News > Business > Circle’s Q1 USDC revenue, profit fall but ARC token presale a winner USDC stablecoin-issuer Circle (NASDAQ: CRCL) saw its Q1 profits slip but got a major boost from a nine-figure presale of its brand new Layer-1 network token.  Figures released Monday show Circle’s total ‘revenue and reserve’ income hitting $694 million in the first three months of 2026, one-fifth higher than the same period last year. However, it’s down from the $770 million reported in Q4 2025 and from $740 million in last year’s Q3. Circle’s revenue primarily comes from interest on the reserve assets backing USDC (mostly U.S. Treasuries), and while USDC’s market cap grew 28% year-on-year during Q1, the average 3.5% return on those T-bills was down by 66 basis points. Reserve income still managed to rise 17% to $653 million, while ‘other’ revenue from subscription & services and transactio
