Liquid Network halts after $320M Bitcoin exploit; 'white hats' claim responsibility

Liquid Network, a critical Bitcoin $BTC settlement layer used by major exchanges, suspended all transactions Sunday following a $320 million security exploit. The attackers, claiming to be "white hats," told Blockstream they would return most of the stolen 4,000 BTC after developers patch the Elements vulnerability across the network.

The breach highlights systemic risks in Bitcoin infrastructure and raises questions about custody safeguards on layer-two solutions. #derives #marche #securite
