DeFi platform Stream Finance says it has temporarily halted deposits and withdrawals after an external fund manager overseeing its funds found a $93 million loss in its assets.
The fund manager reported the loss on Sunday and the project has since hired lawyers from Perkins Coie to investigate the incident, the Stream Finance team said in an X post on Monday.
