A threat actor bypassed Venus Protocol’s supply caps using Thena tokens to borrow multiple assets in what analysts suspect was a flash loan or price manipulation attack on BNB Chain.

Venus Protocol on BNB Chain has been hit with a $3.7 million exploit involving manipulation of the platform’s supply cap mechanisms. According to on-chain data, the threat actor used Thena (THE) tokens to bypass maximum supply restrictions and borrow several different digital assets from the protocol.

Analysts suspect the attack leveraged either flash loan tactics or price manipulation to artificially inflate the collateral’s value. Following the incident, Venus Protocol suspended borrowing and withdrawal functions for the THE token as a precautionary measure, though other markets on the platform remained unaffected.

Fed rate decision September 2025

The post Fed rate decision September 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve on Wednesday approved a widely anticipated rate cut and signaled that two more are on the way before the end of the year as concerns intensified over the U.S. labor market. In an 11-to-1 vote signaling less dissent than Wall Street had anticipated, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered its benchmark overnight lending rate by a quarter percentage point. The decision puts the overnight funds rate in a range between 4.00%-4.25%. Newly-installed Governor Stephen Miran was the only policymaker voting against the quarter-point move, instead advocating for a half-point cut. Governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, looked at for possible additional dissents, both voted for the 25-basis point reduction.

Treasury yields were modestly lower. At his post-meeting news conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell echoed the concerns about the labor market. “The marked slowing in both the supply of and demand for workers is unusual in this less dynamic…
