The malicious entity stole USDC, the dollar-pegged stablecoin issued by Circle Internet (CRCL), bridging the stolen tokens from Arbitrum to Ethereum, blockchain security and data analytics company Peckshield said on X.
Nemo is a DeFi yield optimization platform built on the Sui blockchain. It allows users to tokenize their yield by splitting staked assets into Principal Tokens (PT) and Yield Tokens (YT) and lets them trade, hedge or speculate on future yields.
