Binance Blocks DAO Governance Attack 48 Hours Before Execution, Saving ~$1.2M in Treasury Tokens

The significance here is less the amount saved than the venue of the save: a centralized exchange acting as the de facto circuit breaker for a DAO's governance process. That says the governance layer failed to catch a malicious proposal on its own, and that timelocks only help if someone with visibility is watching them. The open question is whether exchange-level intervention becomes a recurring backstop for DAO exploits, which would sit awkwardly against the decentralization claims of the sector. Watch for whether the DAO itself discloses how the proposal passed and what it changes.
