A hacker infinite-minted tokens on Initia Chain and has withdrawn about $2.6M so far, with more funds reportedly still moving.
Why this happened
An “infinimint” style exploit lets an attacker create tokens with no real cap, then dump them for assets that hold value. Security researchers flagged the activity on Initia, and the cash-out path is what turns a mint bug into real dollar losses for the market.
Why it matters
Unauthorized minting is pure trust and supply shock. Even if the flaw sits in an app layer rather than every core system, the headline hits $INIT hard because users price chain-level safety first. With funds still moving, the final loss number may not be locked yet.
How it can benefit you
If you are flat, this is a clear risk-off signal until the exploit path is patched and residual sell pressure cools. Forced dumps after mint exploits sometimes create later entries only after the bleeding stops.
How it can harm you
Holders can eat the first panic wave while the attacker keeps converting minted tokens. People who buy the first “contained” message can still get trapped if more of the stack hits markets.
SollyCrypto opinion
Dump lean for $INIT. Infinite-mint cash-outs are a near-term negative until the full fund path and patch status are clear.
You fading $INIT on the exploit, or waiting for a full post-mortem?
