Breaking news ⚠️ Filecoin staking platform STFIL faces investigation, funding issues? !

STFIL, a major Filecoin (FIL) staking platform, revealed that members of its core technical team are under investigation by the Chinese police. The company announced this information on its official X (formerly Twitter) account at 04.53 UTC on April 9, 2024.

STFIL claims that they have hired legal counsel to assess the situation and provide support for the detainees.

Previously, the STFIL platform carried out an unexplained protocol upgrade and transferred a large number of FIL tokens to an unknown address. Currently, the address holds approximately 2,568,022 FIL, worth approximately $23.09 million.

STFIL encourages the community to monitor the address. In addition, they invite everyone to participate in discussions focused on protecting the interests of stakeholders.

The community has mixed reactions to the news. Some expressed confusion and sympathy, while others, such as cryptocurrency analyst Niraj Singh, claimed that this was foul play. He stressed that he had invested $80,000 in FIL and was committed to the long-term success of the Filecoin community, which holds a total of 5.2 million tokens, as the reason for his concern.

Singh claimed that changes to the contract led to targeted withdrawals of funds, an incident he called a "run."

"The project owner modified the contract to allow only one address to be designated for withdrawals. Then the funds were withdrawn from the contract," Singh said.

In addition, Singh also publicly requested the Filecoin Foundation to freeze the address and assist affected FIL holders.

STFIL is the second largest liquidity staking protocol in the Filecoin ecosystem. Data from DeFiLlama shows that its current total value locked (TVL) is $39.08 million. Its TVL is second only to GLIF, which is worth $324.2 million.

After the incident, STFIL's official website showed that the protocol's available liquidity was only 2,141 FIL (about $19,226).

However, the news did not have a serious impact on the price of FIL. Although the price fell slightly to $8.85, it is currently trading at $9, down 1.4% in the past 24 hours.
