SEI blockchain suffered a $240,000 flash loan attack; a user's accidental transfer of funds triggered the vulnerability.
PANews reported on January 9th that, according to BlockSec Phalcon monitoring, an attacker initiated a flash loan on the SEI chain via a Synnax contract, borrowing 1.96 million WSEI tokens (approximately $240,000) and failing to repay it. This attack was triggered by a misoperation three blocks prior: address 0x9748…a714 mistakenly transferred funds into the contract, inadvertently providing funding for the attack. The attack path involved TX1 and TX2 transactions, demonstrating that on-chain misoperations can still pose a critical risk in DeFi attacks.

MoneyGram launches stablecoin-powered app in Colombia
The post MoneyGram launches stablecoin-powered app in Colombia appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. MoneyGram has launched a new mobile application in Colombia that uses USD-pegged stablecoins to modernize cross-border remittances. According to an announcement on Wednesday, the app allows customers to receive money instantly into a US dollar balance backed by Circle’s USDC stablecoin, which can be stored, spent, or cashed out through MoneyGram’s global retail network. The rollout is designed to address the volatility of local currencies, particularly the Colombian peso. Built on the Stellar blockchain and supported by wallet infrastructure provider Crossmint, the app marks MoneyGram’s most significant move yet to integrate stablecoins into consumer-facing services. Colombia was selected as the first market due to its heavy reliance on inbound remittances—families in the country receive more than 22 times the amount they send abroad, according to Statista. The announcement said future expansions will target other remittance-heavy markets. MoneyGram, which has nearly 500,000 retail locations globally, has experimented with blockchain rails since partnering with the Stellar Development Foundation in 2021. It has since built cash on and off ramps for stablecoins, developed APIs for crypto integration, and incorporated stablecoins into its internal settlement processes. “This launch is the first step toward a world where every person, everywhere, has access to dollar stablecoins,” CEO Anthony Soohoo stated. The company emphasized compliance, citing decades of regulatory experience, though stablecoin oversight remains fluid. The US Congress passed the GENIUS Act earlier this year, establishing a framework for stablecoin regulation, which MoneyGram has pointed to as providing clearer guardrails.
