StablR Suffers $2.8 Million Exploit, EURR and USDR Lose Peg
StablR’s blockchain infrastructure was exploited in an attack that caused approximately $2.8 million in losses. Following the incident, the EURR and USDR stablecoins lost their peg to underlying assets.
On May 24, exploit detection platform Blockaid identified an active vulnerability in StablR’s blockchain infrastructure used for stablecoin issuance and operations. The attack targeted the smart contracts behind StablR Euro (EURR) and StablR USD (USDR). According to the company, the incident was caused by a compromised multisig key.
Blockaid analysts reported that the attackers gained access to one of the private keys used in the token minting multisig system, which was enough to take full control of the smart contracts. The attackers minted 8.35 million USDR and 4.5 million EURR, bringing the total face value of the unauthorized issuance to around $10.4 million.
According to Blockaid, the attackers used a cross-chain bridge on the Noble platform within the Cosmos ecosystem to fund the operation. The newly minted tokens were swapped through decentralized exchanges for 1,115 ETH, worth nearly $2.8 million. The large gap between the amount minted and the actual extracted value was attributed to low liquidity.
Following the exploit, both stablecoins lost their peg to underlying assets. As of May 25, 11:30 GMT+2, EURR was trading at $0.47, more than 55% below its nominal value, while USDR was trading at $0.97, around 3% below par.
Blockaid emphasized that the incident was not caused by a vulnerability in the smart contract code itself. According to analytics, the exploit became possible due to weaknesses in key management and insufficient multisig protection.
Several hours after the attack, the StablR team confirmed the incident and stated that it was working to contain the impact and minimize losses.

Anthropic’s performance is “good but not good enough”: under “adjusted profitability,” revenue growth sharply brakes!
Anthropic's third-quarter revenue reached $16.8 billion, an increase of nearly 50% quarter-over-quarter, and achieved "adjusted profitability"—but the market remains unconvinced. The main concern lies in monthly growth slowing sharply from 33% to single digits, leaving a gap of several billion dollars short of the year-end $100 billion target. Token prices have hit historic lows, with the disconnect between volume and price becoming increasingly prominent. Whether this "good but not good enough" performance can support a $2 trillion IPO valuation remains uncertain.
