The post XRP Ledger’s design blocks the flash loan attacks costing DeFi hundreds of millions appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The two biggest DeFi exploits of the past two months have one thing in common. They used a tool that does not exist on the XRP Ledger. Thorchain lost roughly $10.8 million on May 15 to a cross-chain attack that drained funds across Bitcoin, Ethereum, BSC, and Base. Drift Protocol, a Solana-based decentralized perpetual exchange, and KelpDAO, a liquid restaking protocol on Ethereum, together accounted for more than $600 million in losses through April alone. Cross-chain bridges have lost over $2.8 billion to attacks since 2021, per Chainalysis. And a significant share of these exploits used some variant of the same mechanic: flash loans. A flash loan is a smart contract feature that lets a trader borrow millions of dollars with no collateral, on the condition that the loan is repaid inside the same transaction. The legitimate use cases include arbitrage betwe

The post ETH Collateral Stress: DeFi Lending at Risk When Prices Fall appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
When Ether sells off fast, overcollateralised loans that looked safe yesterday can be on liquidation watch today. Because ETH backs a large share of DeFi borrowing, price shocks can ripple through lending pools, oracles, and liquidation queues in minutes. Late May 2026 offered a live stress test: nearly $959 million in leveraged crypto positions were liquidated in 24 hours, with about $897 million of them longs, as ETH briefly fell below $2,000 and futures open interest hit a record 16.39 million ETH (≈$32.6 billion notional) CoinDesk. A week earlier, markets absorbed another ~$563 million in forced liquidations in a day, roughly $244 million of which were Ether longs CoinDesk. Against that backdrop, liquidity, governance decisions, and even legal actions can matter. In early May, Aave warned a proposed U.S. court seizure of ~30,765 ETH tied to exploit recoveries risked cascading
