Edel Finance, a platform for tokenized equities, experienced a $403,000 exploit due to a flash loan attack that manipulated the wrapped xStocks exchange rate. The attacker inflated the value of wGOOGLx collateral by 78 times its true worth, allowing for excessive borrowing and significant bad debt for lenders. Despite a prompt response from Edel Finance, the incident exposed vulnerabilities in oracle and collateral pricing in tokenized lending markets. Following the exploit, total value locked (TVL) dropped sharply from approximately $630,000 to about $947, indicating a wave of user withdrawals. The platform recorded a net outflow of $630,000, the largest on record, as users prioritized capital preservation over supporting the protocol. Recovery will depend on rebuilding user confidence, stabilizing TVL, and increasing deposits.
