Liquid Network: Negotiating with White Hat to Recover Remaining 598.5 BTC, Network Restoration Underway

Odaily News: Liquid Network's official security incident report states that on September 6, a vulnerability in the open-source software Elements related to the validation of Liquid node cached range proofs was exploited, resulting in the creation of approximately 4,000 LBTC without bitcoin reserve backing. The exploiter subsequently exchanged them for approximately 4,000 BTC via SideSwap and the Liquid standard Peg-out mechanism. Before the incident, Liquid's reserves were approximately 4,205 BTC, and after the relevant Peg-out and other withdrawals before the network halt, reserves temporarily dropped to 197 BTC.

Liquid Network stated that this incident did not involve the compromise of Functionary nodes or private keys, and other issued assets on Liquid such as USDT were not affected by the vulnerability. The exploiter claimed to be a white hat security researcher and returned 3,400 BTC to the Liquid Federation Peg wallet on September 7. Currently, approximately 598.5 BTC (about 15% of the involved funds) remain unrecovered, and Blockstream is in communication to recover the remaining assets.

Liquid Network also stated that the current priority is to recover the remaining funds and restore Liquid Network to normal operation as soon and as safely as possible. A fix for the vulnerability has been developed and is undergoing multiple rounds of internal and external review. Blockstream is preparing to urgently release Elements v23.3.4, which is expected to be released as soon as it is ready, with a target rollout within approximately 48 hours. After the software update is complete, Liquid Network Functionary operators will make further adjustments to restore full network functionality and the corrected network state, including rejecting previously invalid Peg-outs.

Cynthia Lummis Says No Real Chance for Crypto Bill This Decade if It Fails Next Week's Procedural Vote

Odaily News: U.S. Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis said that if the Clear Act fails to pass, the blame lies with Democrats for not joining Republicans in supporting the bipartisan bill. She stated that Democrats' continued demands for amendments could lead to future regulators stifling the crypto industry; if differences can be bridged, the bill can pass, but Democrats need to compromise further, rather than the White House making concessions.

The U.S. Senate will hold a procedural vote on the bill next week. The bill aims to delineate regulatory responsibilities and clarify whether digital assets are securities, commodities, or stablecoins; the bill passed the House last July but was stalled due to conflicts between banking lobbying groups and crypto companies over customer stablecoin yield issues. A new draft circulating in July prohibits government officials from promoting crypto or profiting from it, with Democrats criticizing the Trump family's involvement in the sector and demanding further amendments.

Loomis criticizes the Democratic Party for delaying the Clarity Act, stating that further compromise is still needed

U.S. Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis has once again criticized the Democrats for delaying the much-anticipated Clarity Act. Lummis stated in response to a Semafor report on the X platform that if the bill fails, the responsibility lies with the Democrats for failing to join Republicans in supporting this bipartisan legislation. She pointed out that the Democrats' continued demands for amendments could lead future regulatory agencies to "stifle the crypto industry." Lummis added that if the differences can be bridged, she believes the Clarity Act could pass, but this requires further compromise from the Democrats, rather than concessions from the White House. Lummis had previously stated that if the bill fails, it will be due to the Democrats. The U.S. Senate is set to hold a procedural vote on the bill next week, and Lummis warned that if it does not pass next week, there will be no realistic opportunity within this decade. The Clarity Act aims to formally delineate the responsibilities of regulatory agencies and distinguish whether digital assets are classified as securities, commodities, or stablecoins. The bill was passed by the House of Representatives last July but was shelved due to conflicts between banking lobbyists and crypto companies over customer stablecoin yield issues. A new draft circulating in July prohibits government officials from promoting or profiting from crypto, with Democrats criticizing the Trump family for venturing into this area, yet still deeming the bill insufficient and calling for amendments.
