4,000 BTC moved without clear sign-off: about $320M exits Liquid federation wallet; message claims "white hats"

AI Market Summary
A reported 4,000 BTC (~$320M) transfer from a Liquid Network federation wallet, coupled with an on-chain "white hats" message, raises acute governance and operational-risk concerns for Bitcoin sidechain infrastructure. Even if Liquid claims the pegout key was not compromised, the event can pressure near-term risk appetite via uncertainty around custody controls, federation authorization, and potential forced disclosures or remediation.
