Liquid Network LBTC Redemptions Paused 35 Days as Blockstream Rejects 10 Percent Bounty Demand
LBTC redemptions on the Liquid Network have been paused 35 days after an attacker used an Elements flaw to take nearly 4,000 BTC. About 3,400 BTC came back, leaving 598.5 BTC worth 49.69 million dollars. Blockstream rejected the 10 percent bounty demand, and Elements v23.3.4 is now under external audit. No restart date is set, and holders exiting via Sideswap and Sideshift face weeks of delays.
