A cluster of high-profile exploits targeting cross-chain bridges and DeFi adapter contracts — including the Verus bridge incident and a $520K Polymarket UMA adapter attack on Polygon — is forcing a sharp repricing of security risk premiums across ETH, UMA, RUNE, and MATIC. Investors are reassessing exposure to interoperability infrastructure and oracle-dependent DeFi protocols as recurring exploit patterns expose systemic vulnerabilities in cross-chain settlement layers.
