Stream Finance Halts Operations After $93 Million Loss Tied to External Fund Manager
Stream Finance has suspended all deposits and withdrawals following a $93 million loss linked to an external fund manager. The protocol's stablecoin, xUSD, depegged sharply to $0.51 as user confidence eroded, triggering a 52% drop in total value locked to $98 million.
Legal counsel from Perkins Coie LLP has been retained to investigate the incident. The fund manager's misstep represents nearly 18% of Stream's $520 million deployed assets, raising questions about risk management in decentralized finance.
