CrediX Team Vanishes After $4.5M Exploit in Suspected DeFi Exit Scam
The team behind decentralized lender CrediX has vanished days after a $4.5 million exploit, leaving its X account inactive and website offline since Aug. 4, according to blockchain security firm CertiK. The sudden disappearance has sparked fears of an exit scam, which is when developers abandon a project and investor funds without warning. The $4.5 million loss has been tied to a compromised admin wallet and abuse of bridge roles, which allowed an attacker to mint unbacked tokens and drain liquidity pools. The exploiter moved funds from Sonic to Ethereum, parking them across a handful of addresses. In the hours after the attack, CrediX promised to reimburse users within 24-48 hours and directed withdrawals through contracts, but the front end never returned and no recovery plan has been published. The exploit and perceived exit scam marks another tough day for crypto investors in 2025, with the total amount lost to hacks and scams totaling $2.5 billion in the first half of this year.

DeFi Protocol CrediX Taken Offline After $4.5M Exploit
Sonic-based decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol CrediX Finance was taken offline after being struck by a $4.5 million exploit. The protocol, which has been live for less than a month, revealed there was a "security breach" at 9:10 UTC on Monday. The website was taken offline to prevent users from depositing. Blockchain security firm CertiK said all the stolen funds were bridged from Sonic to Ethereum and now sit in three separate wallets. The method of attack remains is unclear but it's worth noting that multi-sig wallet breaches became the most common attack vector in the first half of 2025, contributing to a total of $3.1 billion lost to hacks during that period. "All users funds will be recovered in full within 24-48 hours," CrediX wrote on X to quell the concerns of investors who were unable to access the website.

Attacker Swipes $4.5 Million From Credix Using Unbacked Stablecoins
A hacker swiped $4.5 million worth of crypto from decentralized finance protocol CrediX on Monday, according to blockchain security firm CertiK. The funds, which still appear to be under an attacker's control, were then bridged from Sonic, a layer-1 network that debuted last year, to Ethereum, CertiK said in a post on X. CrediX acknowledged on X that a security breach had occurred, and that its website had been taken offline. It then promised that 'all funds will be recovered in full' within the two days. As of 11 a.m. Eastern Time, CrediX's website was still offline. And within CrediX's official Telegram channel, some users clamored for advice on how to withdraw funds. The attacker was able to gain access to an administrative account that allowed it to mint unbacked stablecoins on CrediX, according to Peckshield. Using these funds, the attacker was able to withdraw other assets that users had posted to CrediX as collateral, it said on X. The attacker was given special privileges on CrediX six days ago, according to blockchain security firm SlowMist, which confirmed on X that the protocol had been drained. CrediX bills itself as an aggregator and optimizer allowing users to engage with multiple DeFi protocols in one location, such as Compound and Aave. On X, CrediX said last month that users can earn an annual interest rate of over 10,000% by lending assets on the platform. In 2022, the former Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler warned there may be 'a lot of risk' behind yields that sounds 'too good to be true.' His comments followed the collapses of Voyager Digital and Celsius network at the tail-end of pandemic-era crypto boom. XRP, Ethereum Lead Crypto Market Rebound as Trump Reignites Trade War Sonic's mainnet debuted in December, not long after the network was rebranded from Fantom. Around $437 million worth of assets are currently used in DeFi protocols, according to crypto data provider DeFiLlama. CrediX has detailed plans for an airdrop centered on its upcoming CREDIT token, however, it hasn't been released yet. On Monday, Sonic's native S token rose 1.6% to $0,30, but the token's price has decreased 39% over the past month. Sign in to access your portfolio
