  • Blue Star Capital shares fall 10% after SatoshiPay hack exploits liquidity pools
    April 24, 2026, 5:15 AM EDT. Blue Star Capital plc shares dropped 10% following a security breach in investee SatoshiPay's liquidity pools. An exploit in the third-party Hyperbridge protocol allowed attackers to mint about 1 billion bridged DOT tokens, leading to estimated losses of $2.5 million, with SatoshiPay's direct exposure around $250,000. SatoshiPay confirmed its own systems, including Pendulum and Vortex networks, remained secure and unaffected. The company has removed liquidity from compromised pools and is working with partners on recovery. Despite the setback, SatoshiPay made progress on its decentralized exchange Pendulum FX, payments network Vortex, and announced a forthcoming North American rollout via AlfredPay, targeting Mexico and Colombia for expansion in stablecoin payment solutions.
