What happened
On February 22, 2026, an attacker pumped Stellar's thin USTRY market from ~$1.06 to ~$106.74, inflating collateral values. Two transactions drained $10.97M (1M USDC + 61M XLM) from YieldBlox DAO's Blend V2 lending pool, exploiting the lack of liquidity checks and anomaly detection in the oracle.
In review: sources disagree on the loss.
