Sui Ecosystem Rocked by $200M Oracle Manipulation Attack on Cetus DEX
Sui Ecosystem Rocked by $200M Oracle Manipulation Attack on Cetus DEX

The sui blockchain faces a seismic security breach as attackers exploit Cetus Protocol’s smart contracts, siphoning $200 million from liquidity pools. Spoof tokens were weaponized to distort price calculations, triggering a cascade of liquidations.
Market chaos ensued—Lofi, Sudeng, and Squirtle tokens collapsed 76-97% within minutes, while Cetus’ native token plunged 53%. Forty-six Sui-based assets registered double-digit losses as panic spread.
Forensic analysis reveals the attacker currently holds $164 million in a Sui wallet, with $61.5 million already bridged to ethereum as USDC. Cetus has suspended contracts amid ongoing investigations, though Sui’s native token defied the turmoil with a 2.2% gain.
