The post Shiba Inu Shibarium Halts Staking After Flash Loan Attack appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Shiba Inu ecosystem faces scrutiny after an exploit on Shibarium’s bridge attempted to siphon off more than $1 million worth of BONE tokens. On-chain data showed an effort to move about 4.6 million BONE, immediately drawing a response from the project’s developers.

Meanwhile, roughly 216 ETH went back into settling the loan, while the delegated BONE stayed trapped by unstaking delays. Developers froze those tokens before they could be withdrawn. The attacker also attempted to sell about $700,000 worth of KNINE tokens. That effort was stopped when K9 DAO’s multisig moved to blacklist the wallet involved. Shiba Inu developers have suspended…
