UPDATE: Liquid Network "whitehat" returns 3,400 BTC after Blockstream patches bridge nodes; about 600 BTC still outstanding

A Liquid Network bridge incident saw a "whitehat" return 3,400 BTC after Blockstream reported patching affected bridge nodes, with ~600 BTC still held by the attacker. The partial recovery reduces immediate loss expectations and signals remediation progress, but the remaining funds and the bridge-vector nature of the event keep operational and counterparty risk in focus for Bitcoin-linked liquidity and market confidence.
