Echo Protocol Halts Withdrawals Post $266M Security Breach

Echo Protocol, a decentralized finance entity, halted all withdrawals following a significant wallet breach involving $266 million on June 14, 2025.

The security breach has major implications for decentralized finance, highlighting vulnerabilities and sparking debates on protocol security and trust among users.

Echo Protocol suffered a highly sophisticated wallet breach, resulting in the loss of over $266 million in uBTC. The platform immediately suspended withdrawals and is working with security experts to investigate. A bounty program is in preparation to assist asset recovery.

“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, Official Statement

The breach primarily involved uBTC, a BTC-pegged token within Echo Protocol. The incident led to a sharp decline in the protocol’s collateralization ratio, raising concerns about financial reserves. This event underscores the importance of robust security in DeFi.

The hack has prompted widespread reassessment of security measures across the DeFi sector. Investor Arthur Hayes commented on the importance of self-custody and auditing, urging diligence amidst innovation challenges.

“Any time a core protocol gets hit this hard, it’s a wake-up call to all in the ecosystem: self-custody and redundant auditing remain paramount, no matter the innovation curve.” — Arthur Hayes, Investor and former CEO of BitMEX

The breach is causing a temporary freeze in liquidity and investor withdrawals.

Current investigations are ongoing, with no immediate regulatory actions but increased scrutiny anticipated. Historical breaches reveal prolonged recovery processes that impact token valuations and user confidence. Echo Protocol’s swift engagement with experts reflects lessons learned from past incidents.
