Solana-based decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol Solend has suffered an exploit in relation to pricing oracles, resulting in $1.26 million in bad debt.
The exploit was centered around the hubble stablecoin (USDH) and affected the Stable, Coin98, and Kamino lending pools, according to a tweet by Solend.

A pricing oracle is a source of data that provides asset values for blockchains. Hacks and exploits related to decentralized finance, which is a form of lending that takes place without intermediaries, have surged over the past month. Security firm Chainalysis reported that $718 million had been stolen in the first two weeks of October.
Solend said the three pools have been disabled and that exchanges have been notified of the exploiter's address.
Last month, Mango Markets – another Solana DeFi protocol, lost over $100 million in an exploit that manipulated the MNGO price on a pricing oracle before cashing out a nine-figure sum.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
