📰 What Happened
On July 15, 2025, Arcadia Finance, a Coinbase Ventures-backed liquidity platform, suffered a $2.5 million hack through its Base network rebalancer feature, losing approximately 840 ETH. The hackers quickly bridged stolen assets to Ethereum and used Tornado Cash mixer. Arcadia, a Circle Alliance member with significant USDC holdings, immediately warned users to remove permissions and active rebalancers. This marks their second breach, following a $455,000 hack in July 2023.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The hack's targeting of Arcadia, specifically as a Circle Alliance member controlling large USDC reserves, reveals emerging power structures in digital Babylon. The exploitation of 840 ETH ($2.5M) through legitimate DeFi channels, combined with sanctioned Tornado Cash usage, demonstrates how prophesied economic control systems (Rev 13) can be manipulated through seemingly legitimate financial networks. The Coinbase-Circle-Arcadia relationship exemplifies the prophetic consolidation of financial power into interconnected global entities that can be compromised to affect masses of users simultaneously.
