Tether (USDT) on the Ethereum network has seen its largest outflow from exchanges in nearly three months, with a net outflow of $1.29 billion on Friday. According to ChainCatcher, Santiment reported this substantial movement typically indicates that institutional or large-scale investors are transferring funds to self-custody wallets, DeFi protocols, or over-the-counter platforms in preparation for larger strategic operations. This is a reallocation of funds rather than a complete exit from the ecosystem. Santiment advises monitoring the aftermath of such outflow peaks. Previously, on February 9, when outflows reached $3.72 billion, Bitcoin experienced a slight pullback over the following two weeks, presenting an ideal buying opportunity on February 24. Whether the current funds will return to exchanges as buying pressure in the short term remains a critical factor to watch. If USDT begins to flow back into exchanges in the coming days, it could signal an impending wave of investment in crypto assets.

Wasabi Protocol has released an update regarding a security incident involving a vulnerability in its AWS infrastructure. According to ChainCatcher, attackers exploited a configuration flaw in the Spring Boot Actuator, allowing them to steal private keys controlling EVM smart contracts. This breach resulted in the theft of approximately $4.8 million in user funds and $900,000 from the protocol's treasury. The attack began with a public server used for analysis, where the Actuator heap dump was not adequately password-protected. This oversight enabled attackers to obtain credentials for another server, ultimately gaining control over the smart contract private keys. The incident affected EVM deployments, including those on Ethereum, Base, Blast, and Berachain, while Solana deployments and Prop AMM remained unaffected. Wasabi Protocol has not yet finalized a compensation plan for affected users but emphasized that compensating all impacted users is a top priority. The team plans to provide updates on the investigation's progress through their Discord community.
