  • Cetus Protocol, the main decentralized exchange on the Sui blockchain, suffered a $260 million hack on May 22, 2025.
  • This attack occurred due to a vulnerability that allowed the attacker to drain multiple liquidity pools, causing severe disruption and halted trading.
  • The exploit caused liquidity tokens like LOFI, HIPPO, and SQUIRT to lose over 80% of their value, while the SUI/USDC pool lost $11 million in liquidity.
  • Lookonchain reported the attacker converted stolen assets into over 21,900 ETH worth $58.3 million and bridged about $60 million to Ethereum, while Binance founder CZ promised support.
