DeFi exchange Pancake Bunny victim of flash loan attack

Pancake Bunny has suffered from a flash-loan attack from an outside exploiter, causing the exchange to lose a large amount of BUNNY. As a result of the hack, the price of BUNNY crashed by 80%.

Hacker used Pancake Swap

The hacker used decentralized exchange PancakeSwap to borrow a large amount of Binance Coin (BNB). He then managed to manipulate the price of Tether (USDT) to BNB, and BNB to BUNNY. As a result, he received a massive amount of BUNNY. The coins were dumped through these flash loans and caused the BUNNY price to crash from around $146 to a dismal $6.17.

In a tweet, Pancake Bunny stated that there has been misinformation in the media about the incident and that no vaults had been compromised. According to the company, this was an economic exploit that attacked the price of BUNNY.

Pancake Bunny is not alone

Pancake Bunny is not the only DeFi project that has been attacked by hackers. The DeFi yield farming platform bEarn Fi fell victim to an exploit in its smart contract on Sunday. The user managed to drain $10.85 million worth of Binance USD (BUSD) stablecoins from one of its vaults.

In response, the developers of bEarn promised a refund and additional compensation for all users affected by the exploit. The team behind the protocol said they would also create a compensation fund with the remaining saved funds.

Other Binance Smart Chain DeFi projects were also targeted not long ago. Evidently, Uranium Finance, Spartan Protocol and Meerkat Finance were also hacked. This raises questions for Binance Smart Chain investors about whether their funds are secure.

Hackers are seeing opportunities in DeFi

The DeFi market is one of the most explosive trends in the crypto industry. In fact, with the current rapid rate of new projects entering the space, and the growing amount of assets being locked away in decentralized finance, hackers are seeing opportunities to exploit these projects and get their hands on huge amounts of cash. Realistically, it seems inevitable that more of these attacks will happen in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

Why is there no trial or refund policy?

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

How often is content updated?

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
