Key Notes

Nemo Protocol was hacked.
The attacker has already bridged the funds to Ethereum.
The protocol didn’t officially post any data about the suspicious movements.

Nemo Protocol, a yield trading protocol based on the Sui SUI $3.48 24h volatility: 2.3% Market cap: $12.43 B Vol. 24h: $911.00 M network, saw a massive exploit early in the morning on Sept. 8.

According to the on-chain security firm PeckShield, hackers drained $2.4 million in USDC USDC $1.00 24h volatility: 0.0% Market cap: $72.50 B Vol. 24h: $10.44 B from the trading protocol.

The attackers soon started moving the stolen USDC from the Arbitrum network and swapped to DAI DAI $1.00 24h volatility: 0.1% Market cap: $4.48 B Vol. 24h: $100.25 M and Ethereum ETH $4 337 24h volatility: 0.8% Market cap: $522.50 B Vol. 24h: $22.00 B . The reason behind the swaps is that Circle, the firm behind the second-largest stablecoin, can freeze the assets — this would’ve left the fraudulent actors with no usable money on the blockchain.

With decentralized assets like DAI or ETH, this is no longer possible.

Hiding behind Maintenance

While Nemo still hasn’t shared the news with its community, many users have been complaining about the company’s maintenance notice.

One of its users posted on X that Nemo hinted at an ongoing maintenance on Sept. 8 and 9 on its Discord “a few hours before they went down.”

Does anyone else think something's not right over at @nemoprotocol ? This is at least the third time they've gone dark since April, this time with zero notice. I mean, zero notice here on X, where they have their largest audience. The posted something only for their Discord users…

The user hinted that the website is “wipe of info.”

Data from DefiLlama also shows a $5.3 million decline in Nemo Protocol’s total value locked.

Nemo was the third victim in the industry to lose millions to hackers this month. September kicked off with the $2 million OlaXBT hack, followed by the $8.4 million Bunni protocol exploit . According to a Coinspeaker report, crypto-related hacks have been consistently rising over the past three months. In August alone, hackers stole over $163 million from multiple platforms and companies in the space.

AirTrunk, a data center operator under Blackstone, has decided to postpone the listing of its $1.5 billion Singapore Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) to the first or second quarter of 2027. Rising U.S. Treasury yields and increased market volatility have made investors more cautious; even raising the yield from 5.5% to around 6% has not boosted demand. High capital costs are becoming a major constraint on the expansion of AI infrastructure.

CoreWeave Faces Dual Shock in Stocks and Bonds! Share Price Plummets 15%, Bonds in Trouble, Musk Exclaims "Scary"

Analysts point out that the company borrows at an interest rate of about 9%, but its investment returns are less than 5%. With total debt and lease obligations amounting to $52 billion, there is a risk that its equity value could go to zero. Rising inflation has pushed up long-term U.S. Treasury yields, leading to systemic doubts about the financing logic of capital-intensive AI companies. Prediction platforms now estimate the company's probability of bankruptcy before 2027 at 17%.

Federal Reserve Beige Book Warns of "Fierce" Oil Prices: Half of Districts Face Strong or Intensifying Price Pressures, Businesses Confront Price Increases and Profit Squeeze

The Beige Book shows that all 12 Federal Reserve districts reported the impact of rising oil prices. Businesses generally indicated that high diesel prices and fuel surcharges are passing additional costs down the entire supply chain. Since the previous Beige Book report just over a month ago, the U.S. economy has experienced moderate growth, with manufacturing serving as the main support. The labor market continues to see low hiring and low layoffs, and firms in nearly half the districts reported that AI investment is impacting employment.
