ChainCatcher report: Ranveer Arora, CEO of DeFi protocol Altura, announced that the platform will orderly shut down its stablecoin yield vault due to “unprecedented” withdrawal requests over the weekend. According to reports, within the 24 hours prior to the announcement, Altura processed over 8.5 million USDT in instant redemptions. This surge in withdrawals was primarily driven by market panic triggered by the severe depegging of the yield-bearing stablecoin Main Street (msUSD). Although Altura officially clarified that it has no direct exposure to Main Street, concerns arose because both projects share the same proof-of-reserves provider, Accountable. Altura has since notified all counterparties and begun unwinding its strategy funds across exchanges, private credit, and real-world assets (RWA) to ensure all redemptions are completed fairly and transparently. The vault’s total value locked on HyperEVM previously reached $39 million.

Summary
The DeFi protocol Altura announced a protocol update to wind down its stablecoin yield vaults following an $8.5M USDT redemption spike. The surge was triggered by panic stemming from Main Street’s depeg, though Altura has no direct exposure. Both projects use the reserve proof provider Accountable, raising concerns. Altura is now liquidating strategies across exchanges, private credit, and real-world assets to meet redemption demands. The vault’s TVL on HyperEVM had reached $39M. This event did not involve a DeFi exploit.
