Liquid Network Hack: $320 Million in Bitcoin Withdrawn by Purported White-Hat Hackers On September 6, 2026, approximately 4,000 BTC, valued at around $320 million, were withdrawn from the Liquid Network's federation wallet by unidentified actors claiming to be white-hat hackers. The withdrawal represented about 95% of the network's total reserves, which were approximately 4,200 BTC prior to the incident. The hackers exploited a vulnerability in the Elements software, allowing them to create L-BTC that was not backed by actual Bitcoin. Liquid Network has since paused transactions and disabled bridge nodes while investigating the incident. Communication between the hackers and Blockstream, the network's provider, has occurred via on-chain messages, with the hackers stating they would return 'most' of the stolen funds if the vulnerability is fixed. The situation raises significant concerns regarding the security of crypto infrastructure. As of now, the funds remain under the hackers' control, and there is no guarantee of their return. 18 sources 67
