Sui liquidity provider Cetus confirmed a loss of 223 million dollars due to a hack, says it’s taking steps to recover funds On Thursday, May 22, Cetus confirmed that it was a victim of a hack which accounted for $223 million in losses. The confirmation came after the Sui-based (SUI) liquidity provider paused the smart contract to prevent more losses. According to Cetus, the protocol was able to safeguard $162 million out of the compromised assets by halting smart contract activity. The remaining funds are being transferred across multiple Sui wallets, many of which have already been blacklisted. Cetus stated it is working with the Sui Foundation to contain the damage and recover as many funds as possible. The Sui Foundation noted that validators have taken steps to ignore transactions originating from wallets linked to the hack. “Cetus worked together with the other DeFi protocols, the Sui Foundation, and the Sui validators to collectively protect the ecosystem. A large number of validators identified the addresses with the stolen funds and are ignoring transactions on those addresses until further notice,” Sui Foundation. The hack ignited criticism on social media, where users have raised concerns about centralization. Many pointed to the ability of Cetus to pause its smart contract as evidence that the project lacks true decentralization. In a decentralized finance protocol, no single party should have the authority to halt execution unilaterally. Cetus paused the contract immediately after revealing the breach. Criticism was also directed at the Sui Foundation, particularly its role in censoring transactions linked to the attack. One user commented, “What’s worse? A hacker stealing funds, or validators freezing wallets.” Neither the Sui Foundation nor Cetus has responded directly to these concerns. Following the incident, the Cetus Protocol token fell nearly 40 percent, dropping from a high of 0.25 dollars to 0.155 dollars. The Sui token also declined by 4 percent, trading at 3.89 dollars.

SMQKE, a well-known crypto researcher, believes that the result of the Ripple lawsuit may launch a new stage in global financial infrastructure. American lawyer James C. Spindler made this claim in his legal report titled “SHAQ, RIPPLE AND THE FUTURE OF CRYPTO REGULATION.” The report was prepared and released by William & Mary Law School. SMQKE stated that if Ripple won, it would give banks and asset managers a clear path to use blockchain for main financial activities. The findings reveal that Judge Analisa Torres found that a portion of Ripple’s XRP sales was not in violation of securities laws. Legal experts claim that Ripple’s initial XRP release was the same as selling shares in an unwritten corporate value. If Ripple prevailed, SMQKE expected that financial institutions could use Ripple’s results to plot the future of their core functions on blockchain systems. The researcher pointed out that having such a setup would help companies transfer money and seek funds more freely. It would also allow for tokenizing shares and combining them with payment systems in blockchain wallets.

According to SMQKE, smart contract technology could improve the way financial services such as custody and settlement are managed. Automation would make banking processes quicker and less dependent on existing regulatory rules. Success for Ripple could spark changes that affect the whole financial industry. SMQKE revealed that the approved playbook can help other institutions issue tokens, handle capital, and enhance their payment systems using Ripple’s experience. It would help financial institutions make better use of blockchain to bring about change and innovation. The case between Ripple and the SEC is still ongoing, even after settlement talks. Ripple must pay a $50 million fine for selling XRP to institutions as agreed by the SEC. Yet, Judge Torres turned down their motion for an indicative ruling because of some problems in the procedure. Both parties now need to ask the court for another opportunity to reach a settlement. The outcome of the Ripple case may significantly reshape the financial sector. A victory for Ripple might encourage more banks to adopt blockchain technology, leading to greater efficiency and reduced regulatory costs. This shift could help financial institutions streamline operations and innovate more rapidly. Disclaimer: The information presented in this article is for informational and educational purposes only.
