A significant vulnerability in Balancer’s V2 Composable Stable Pools has resulted in a $116 million hack on November 5th, 2025. This exploit targeted the platform’s pools, draining assets from prominent tokens like WETH, wstETH, osETH, and more. The incident triggered a substantial drop in the BAL token price and TVL, highlighting security weaknesses within decentralized finance (DeFi). The attack has prompted Balancer to halt impacted V2 Composable Stable Pools, while other pools remain unaffected. The company is actively working with security teams for asset recovery and investigation. Security researchers and legal teams are also joining forces to trace the stolen funds, and the platform plans to enhance its security protocols in the future.
