SUI Trading Volume Plummets 42% Following $223M Cetus Exploit—Investors Flee as Market Reels
Another day, another crypto bloodbath—this time courtesy of a $223M heist on Cetus that sent SUI holders sprinting for the exits. Trading volumes cratered nearly half as panicked sellers dumped bags, proving once again that ’decentralized security’ often just means ’your problem now.’
The exploit triggered a classic crypto domino effect: hack begets selloff, selloff begets liquidity crunch, and somewhere a VC sighs while writing off another ’strategic investment.’ Meanwhile, traders who missed the memo on self-custody get reacquainted with that unique sinking feeling—right before checking CoinMarketCap again like it’ll help.
Funny how these nine-figure ’anomalies’ keep happening in a sector supposedly built on trustless systems. Maybe the real Ponzi was the regulators we ignored along the way.
