The post $284M In DeFi Loans And Stablecoin Risk Traced To Stream Finance appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Exposure loops involving Elixir’s deUSD, Treeve’s scUSD and other assets suggested that at least $284.9 million in overall debt is owed to lenders across various markets. This excludes indirect exposure via secondary vaults and other lending strategies.  According to the post, DeFi funds and curators included TelosC, Elixir, MEV Capital, Varlamore and Re7 Labs.

Elixir claimed to have contractual redemption rights at $1 per deUSD. However, Stream Finance reportedly said that the repayment must wait until lawyers determine “who is owed what.”

The findings reinforce existing concerns about transparency in the DeFi ecosystem’s high-yield infrastructures.

The protocols involved had layered exposures through lending markets and derivative stablecoins, making it difficult to pinpoint who ultimately bears the losses.

Stream Finance’s $93 million loss 

The exposure map follows Stream Finance’s announcement that it had paused deposits and withdrawals after finding a $93 million loss attributed to an external fund manager. 

The project stated that it had employed the services of the law firm Perkins Coie to investigate and recover assets. Still, it did not provide a timeline for resuming its normal operations. 

Prior to the announcement, traders noticed unusual delays and discrepancies between the project’s reported total value locked (TVL) and figures listed by aggregator DefiLlama. 

After the announcement, Staked Stream USD (xUSD) quickly depegged to about $0.50, striking fear among users. At the time of writing, CoinGecko data indicated that the asset was trading at $0.33.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
