Echo Protocol Suspends Withdrawals After Security Breach

The Echo Protocol has suspended all withdrawals following a sophisticated security breach on June 14, 2025, involving $266 million worth of assets. The breach has been attributed to a supply chain attack compromising their wallet.

The breach highlights vulnerabilities in DeFi security, raising concerns about protocol collateralization and increasing the risk of asset devaluation amid market scrutiny.

The Echo Protocol, a DeFi platform, has announced a suspension of withdrawals due to a security breach leading to a loss of 2,515.65 uBTC. The breach occurred despite the involvement of established security experts.

Today, our wallet holding 2,515.648579 uBTC (valued at over $266 million) was subjected to a highly sophisticated supply chain attack and has been maliciously compromised. We have suspended withdrawals, engaged with security experts, and will publish an event review as soon as possible. A bounty program is forthcoming to aid asset recovery. – Echo Protocol Team, source.

Echo Protocol team, without specific personal statements from leadership, admitted to a highly sophisticated attack. They have engaged third-party auditors, expressing their commitment to investigating and recovering stolen assets through an upcoming bounty program.

The immediate market impact is notable as Echo Protocol’s collateralization ratio dropped to 20%. This poses substantial risk to assets tied to the protocol, including potential de-pegging of derivatives, unsettling many stakeholders.

While similar incidents like the Ronin Bridge and Poly Network hacks led to significant market repercussions, the Echo event underscores ongoing vulnerabilities. This situation prompts scrutiny of DeFi security practices and risk assessment measures.

The Echo team is actively engaging the crypto community in recovery efforts. However, the breach may influence ongoing and future regulatory understanding and compliance within the DeFi sector. The community response reflects increased vigilance and examination of protocol assurances.
