Balance Coin was dumped from $0.9954 down to $0.001358—down more than 99%.
Let’s make one thing clear: this is not a typical depeg. This is a direct breach of the trust layer of an algorithmic stablecoin.
Why isn’t it a normal depeg? A typical depeg usually stems from liquidity drying up or sell pressure in the market. This attack, however, directly targets 42DAO—the core entry point to the governance of the Balance Protocol ecosystem and the BLC token.
In other words: the attacker may first poison the governance layer, then use governance permissions to rewrite the stability mechanism or move away collateral, causing the entire pegging logic to fail.
PeckShield and TenArmor both detected anomalies, indicating this is not a single erroneous price feed issue, but rather a systematic exploitation of on-chain permissions, liquidity, or minting/redemption pathways.
What’s even more troubling is that the project team has not publicly disclosed the reason or any remediation plan to date.
In the world of stablecoins, silence doesn’t calm the market. Silence makes the market assume the worst case—then triggers a second wave of a bank run.
Do you think algorithmic stablecoins can still be trusted?
