Yearn Finance's yETH Hack Drains Pool; ~1,000 ETH Routed via Tornado Cash
December 1, 2025, 12:32 AM EST.Yearn Finance's yETH (an ETH Liquid Staking Derivative) was hit by an unlimited mint attack that drained the entire yETH pool in a single transaction. Attackers reportedly minted ~1,000 ETH (about $3 million) and routed proceeds through Tornado Cash. Yearn confirmed the incident and stressed that its V2 and V3 Vaults remain secure. The exploitation appears to target the yETH LST pool and involved self-destructing contracts. The pool carried roughly $11 million in value prior to the breach. The incident heightens scrutiny on DeFi security and LST risk, with investors watching related protocols – including Balancer – for knock-on effects and recovery prospects.
Asia Market Open: Bitcoin Dips Under $86K as Fed Expectations Support Stocks
December 1, 2025, 12:20 AM EST. Bitcoin slipped below $86,000 in Asian trading as regional stocks steadied on growing optimism that the US is close to its next interest rate cut.

The session also saw roughly $608 million in crypto liquidations, led by Bitcoin and Ether. The total crypto market cap hovered around $3.01 trillion as XRP fell to $2.04. Equity markets were calmer: MSCI Asia Pacific ex-Japan was little changed, Japan's Nikkei down about 1.3%, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose over 1%. A rally in metal names helped Chinese shares start December brighter despite November factory contraction and lingering property sector concerns as China's Vanke updates weighed sentiment.

The survey also flagged softer employment, lower purchasing, and cautious inventory management. The official PMI echoed a contraction at 49.2 but improved from 49.0.

December 1, 2025, 12:06 AM EST. Copa Holdings (CPA) delivered solid Q3 results, lifting revenue, net income, and load factor, while reaffirming its 2025 outlook and signaling a robust 2026 capacity plan. Investors have rewarded the stock, up ~42% year-to-date, as the company sustains operational momentum. The valuation narrative centers on whether CPA trades at a bargain despite strong growth, or if recent gains already reflect the favorable outlook. Narrative comparisons show a bullish fair value around $157.13 vs. a sizable DCF-derived figure near $33 per share, underscoring divergent views on profitability and risk. Key catalysts include network expansion (San Diego to Tucuman), Tocumen hub upgrades, and Brazil/Latin American growth, offset by fuel volatility and competitive pressures. A closer look at the assumptions behind the forecasts can clarify the opportunity.
