Balancer Exploit May Have Enabled $128M Crypto Theft, Prompting Berachain Halt 🔓
The Balancer V2 exploit in 2025 has led to a significant crypto theft, with approximately $128 million stolen from liquidity pools distributed across multiple platforms including Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Base. The root cause was a precision error within Balancer V2, which allowed attackers to exploit underappreciation of the pool values.
This incident has prompted a major reaction in the crypto space, resulting in the halt of Berachain operations as a precautionary measure to assess and mitigate the situation.
