StablR has suspended USDR and EURR operations following a hack that resulted in over-minting. Attackers exploited a 1-of-3 multisig Ethereum wallet to mint $13.5 million in stablecoins and cash out $2.8 million. The incident caused both tokens to depeg, with EURR falling to $0.548. Market observers are now monitoring the Fear & Greed Index for indications of broader crypto sentiment shifts. Traders are also scanning altcoins for potential volatility spillover.

PANews, May 26: According to CoinDesk, European stablecoin issuer StablR has suspended the minting and redemption of USDR and EURR following a cyberattack, and requested exchanges to halt trading and deposits/withdrawals of both tokens. The attacker exploited a vulnerability in StablR’s Ethereum 1-of-3 multisignature wallet, compromising a single private key to add themselves as an administrator and remove the original signers, thereby minting approximately 8.35 million USDR and 4.5 million EURR—valued at around $13.5 million at pegged rates—with actual cashouts totaling approximately $2.8 million. The incident left both stablecoins undercollateralized, no longer meeting MiCA’s 1:1 reserve requirements. USDR briefly de-pegged before recovering to approximately $0.994, while EURR dropped to around $0.548.
