🚨 Red Flag on $FLOW Security Breach and Price Drop 🚩
✅ According to the official Flow documentation:
The Flow EVM uses the same currency FLOW, and there is no new token minted at launch. That is, FLOW on EVM is expected to be bridged from Cadence → EVM.
Therefore, the appearance of minting millions on EVM = a fundamental flaw. Logically, there could be two scenarios:
✔️ A vulnerability or misconfiguration of permissions in the Bridge / Minter / Proxy contract. ✔️ Private Key breach / administrative privileges enabled token minting via Proxy.
5 million tokens were minted here: 🔗:
✅ Attempt to create a bridge to Bitcoin: Why is talking about Chainflip reasonable as a liquidation pathway? Chainflip is known for cross-chain swap routes that may end up in BTC. 🔗:
✅ Historically, this is a common pattern for laundering stolen assets. ( This confirms that this is the pathway here, but it is consistent with laundering patterns ).
✅ The most important economic angle: ▪️ The problem is not just “liquidity theft.” ▪️ The problem is the collapse of the pricing mechanism.
✔️ When there is uncontrolled token issuance, liquidity pools become a machine for extracting value against minted units. ✔️ This results in severe slippage + DEX depletion. ✔️ The risk premium on the entire FLOW EVM ecosystem (TVL, LPs, protocols) increases.
✅ Summary: This is not a transient price event; it is a breach of the project's foundational trust. The market is fleeing from insecurity… not from a price drop, because drops are offset by rises, but from insecurity, which means exit. The ball is in the hands of Flow’s founders.
