Liquid hacker pledges to return $320 million as whale profit-taking wave pressures Bitcoin

A shift in the Liquid network crisis with signs of a security resolution countered by selling pressure from major investors despite institutional inflows The European session saw a significant development in the Liquid network hack case, as the attacker pledged to return 4,000 stolen Bitcoin, valued at approximately $320 million, after describing the operation as a white hat hack to ensure a security vulnerability was fixed. This pledge comes after the network halted all operations and froze following the asset withdrawal. Despite these positive signals that may ease panic, the market remains affected by the repercussions of the security vulnerability that led to a general decline, with operations remaining suspended to ensure protocol safety before resuming activity. Markets observed an expansion in the scope of Bitcoin sales as whales joined the profit-taking wave for the first time since June, increasing selling pressure during the session. Conversely, institutional momentum continued as Bitcoin ETFs attracted inflows of $987 million, led by BlackRock. This divergence between liquidity outflows from large individual holders and inflows through institutional channels leaves Bitcoin in a state of volatility, as new inflows attempt to absorb the selling pressure resulting from old whale positions. في تحول استراتيجي ناتج عن الثغرات الأمنية، اقترح مشروع Harmony إيقاف شبكة الطبقة الأولى والتحول إلى شبكة إيثيريوم مع نقل رمز ONE. وفي سوق العملات البديلة، استمرت عملة KARMA في تسجيل مكاسب استثنائية بلغت 826.04%، بينما تعرضت عملات أخرى لضغوط حادة حيث تراجع Arbitrum بنسبة -11.82% وUnit Protocol Duck بنسبة -24.28%. تعكس هذه التحركات حالة من إعادة التقييم للمشاريع المتضررة أمنياً مقابل استمرار المضاربات العنيفة على عملات محددة بعيداً عن الاتجاه العام للسوق.
