The Crypto.com-linked Cronos blockchain paused operations after an apparent price-manipulation attack on lending protocol Tectonic. An on-chain researcher estimated the attacker inflated the price of illiquid TONIC token roughly 100x to borrow about $75M in other assets; only about $6M was bridged out before the halt.
Matters because: Oracle and price-manipulation risk remains a live threat for smaller DeFi lending markets.
