Yearn Finance Loses $9M in Single-Transaction Exploit of yETH Vault

2025/12/01 18:34

Yearn Finance has suffered a major security breach, resulting in the loss of approximately $9 million.

The exploit targeted a legacy stable swap pool associated with the protocol’s yETH token that allowed the hackers to mint an infinite number of coins.

Flaw in the yETH Contract

Blockchain security firm Peckshield was the first to flag the incident via X, stating, “Yearn Finance suffered an attack resulting in a total loss of ~$9M.”

According to the analysts, the attacker abused a critical vulnerability in the yETH token contract that let them mint fresh yETH without posting adequate collateral, effectively inflating the token supply at will. This loophole was then used to drain liquidity from a pool outside of Yearn’s core vault products.

Targeted in the exploit was a custom-built contract designed to aggregate staked Ethereum derivatives such as stETH and rETH. The protocol later shared that the yUSND pool and Nerite’s vaults remained secure and were not impacted by the protocol failure. Following the attack, those responsible then laundered over $3 million in stolen ETH through Tornado Cash. Meanwhile, the remaining $6 million in various staked Ethereum assets remain in their wallet address (0xa80d…c822) as of the latest blockchain scans.

Yearn also confirmed the compromise on X. It reported that $0.9 million was lost from the yETH-WETH stableswap pool on Curve, while an additional $8 million was drained from the affected pool. Impacted users were also advised to open a support ticket on the project’s Discord.

Early Investigation Findings

The platform announced that it has assembled a war room, comprising SEAL911 and its audit partner, Chain Security, with a full postmortem investigation underway.

Early findings suggest that the incident shares a similar level of technical complexity with the recent Balancer hack. That unauthorized access resulted in more than $120 million being stolen across the platform’s main protocol and several forks.

On-chain analysts traced the Balancer event to a precision-loss bug in the integer fixed-point arithmetic used to calculate scaling factors within Composable Stable Pools, which are optimized for near-parity asset pairs like USDC/USDT or WETH/stETH.

SlowMist later shared that the flaw led to subtle but repeated price discrepancies during swaps, particularly when attackers executed multiple operations within a single transaction using the batch swap function.

Meanwhile, Yearn’s incident follows shortly after Korean exchange Upbit suffered its own security lapse, which resulted in the loss of $50 million in Ethereum.

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

The post BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock is steering $185 billion worth of model portfolios deeper into US stocks and artificial intelligence. The decision came this week as the asset manager adjusted its entire model suite, increasing its equity allocation and dumping exposure to international developed markets. The firm now sits 2% overweight on stocks, after money moved between several of its biggest exchange-traded funds. This wasn’t a slow shuffle. Billions flowed across multiple ETFs on Tuesday as BlackRock executed the realignment. The iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF) alone brought in $3.4 billion, the largest single-day haul in its history. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) collected $2.3 billion, while the iShares US Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF) added nearly $2 billion. The rebalancing triggered swift inflows and outflows that realigned investor exposure on the back of performance data and macroeconomic outlooks. BlackRock raises equities on strong US earnings The model updates come as BlackRock backs the rally in American stocks, fueled by strong earnings and optimism around rate cuts. In an investment letter obtained by Bloomberg, the firm said US companies have delivered 11% earnings growth since the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, earnings across other developed markets barely touched 2%. That gap helped push the decision to drop international holdings in favor of American ones. Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager for BlackRock’s Target Allocation ETF model portfolio suite, said the US market is the only one showing consistency in sales growth, profit delivery, and revisions in analyst forecasts. “The US equity market continues to stand alone in terms of earnings delivery, sales growth and sustainable trends in analyst estimates and revisions,” Michael wrote. He added that non-US developed markets lagged far behind, especially when it came to sales. This week’s changes reflect that position. The move was made ahead of the Federal…
