StabIR's Security update, as of 12:10 pm UTC. Source: @StabIREuro on X.com The attacker added themselves, replaced the other owners, and minted 8.35 million USDR and 4.5 million EURR, causing the stablecoins to depeg. The attacker then swapped the minted tokens worth around $10.4 million on decentralized exchanges for just 1,115 ETH or around $2.8 million due to thin liquidity. “This is not a smart contract bug — it’s a key management and governance failure,” said Blockaid. May has so far been a bad month for crypto and DeFi exploits with over a dozen major incidents to date, according to DeFiLlama. Some of the larger ones included THORChain, Verus Bridge, Echo Protocol and Polymarket. StablR’s euro stablecoin, EURR, which has a $14 million market capitalization, lost 23% of its value, which depegged the asset from its $1.15 peg to $0.88 in EUR-USD markets, according to CoinGecko. Meanwhile, StablR’s USDR dollar stablecoin, with an $11 million market capitalization, tanked 30% to $0.70 in the ongoing incident on Sunday morning.
