The post $284M In DeFi Loans And Stablecoin Risk Traced To Stream Finance appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Elixir claimed to have contractual redemption rights at $1 per deUSD. However, Stream Finance reportedly said that the repayment must wait until lawyers determine “who is owed what.”

The findings reinforce existing concerns about transparency in the DeFi ecosystem’s high-yield infrastructures.

Stream Finance’s $93 million loss 

The exposure map follows Stream Finance’s announcement that it had paused deposits and withdrawals after finding a $93 million loss attributed to an external fund manager. 

The project stated that it had employed the services of the law firm Perkins Coie to investigate and recover assets. Still, it did not provide a timeline for resuming its normal operations. 

Prior to the announcement, traders noticed unusual delays and discrepancies between the project’s reported total value locked (TVL) and figures listed by aggregator DefiLlama. 

After the announcement, Staked Stream USD (xUSD) quickly depegged to about $0.50, striking fear among users. At the time of writing, CoinGecko data indicated that the asset was trading at $0.33.

Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto

Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto

The post Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Advertisement &nbsp &nbsp Forward Industries, the largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, has filed a $4 billion at-the-market (ATM) equity offering program with the U.S. SEC  to raise more capital for additional SOL accumulation. Forward Strategies Doubles Down On Solana Strategy In a Wednesday press release, Forward Industries revealed that the 4 billion ATM equity offering program will allow the company to issue and sell common stock via Cantor Fitzgerald under a sales agreement dated Sept. 16, 2025. Forward said proceeds will go toward “general corporate purposes,” including the pursuit of its Solana balance sheet and purchases of income-generating assets. The sales of the shares are covered by an automatic shelf registration statement filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission that is already effective – meaning the shares will be tradable once they’re sold. An automatic shelf registration allows certain publicly listed companies to raise capital with flexibility swiftly.  Kyle Samani, Forward’s chairman, astutely described the ATM offering as “a flexible and efficient mechanism” to raise and deploy capital for the company’s Solana strategy and bolster its balance sheet.  Advertisement &nbsp Though the maximum amount is listed as $4 billion, the firm indicated that sales may or may not occur depending on existing market conditions. “The ATM Program enhances our ability to continue scaling that position, strengthen our balance sheet, and pursue growth initiatives in alignment with our long-term vision,” Samani said. Forward Industries kicked off its Solana treasury strategy on Sept. 8. The Wednesday S-3 form follows Forward’s $1.65 billion private investment in public equity that closed last week, led by crypto heavyweights like Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital. The company started deploying that capital this week, announcing it snatched up 6.8 million SOL for approximately $1.58 billion at an average price of $232…
