Self-proclaimed "white hat hackers" extracted about 4,000 BTC from Liquid Network and have returned 3,400 BTC (approximately $269.2 million) to the federal wallet of the sidechain on Monday, recovering about 85% of the funds. The incident began on Sunday when a customer sent 4,000 L-BTC to SideSwap's peg-out service. The attackers claimed to be "white hat hackers" through Bitcoin transaction messages and demanded that the vulnerability be fixed first. Blockstream then sent a signed message stating that "the bridging node has been patched and funds can be safely returned," after which the attackers transferred the funds. Nevertheless, about 598.5 BTC (approximately $47 million) remains in the related address. Ledger's Chief Technology Officer Charles Guillemet expressed skepticism about the "white hat" claim, stating that if this were a negotiated reward under on-chain crypto contracts, it looked more like extortion. Liquid has disabled the bridging nodes and requested exchanges to suspend L-BTC deposits and withdrawals, but has not yet announced a plan for handling the remaining funds or when normal operations will resume.

According to a report by Decrypt, Galaxy Research stated that the third wave of attackers on the Coldcard hardware wallet has recently transferred 97.09 BTC, worth approximately 7.7 million dollars at current prices, accounting for about 45% of the stolen Bitcoin in this wave.Among them, the attackers transferred about 20.5 BTC to Ethereum via THORChain cross-chain on September 2; subsequently, they moved some funds into the CoinJoin mixing process to increase the difficulty of tracking the funds. Currently, 11 of the 293 2-of-2 multi-signature addresses established by the attackers in the third wave have been emptied.The report indicated that this Coldcard security incident originated from a firmware vulnerability introduced in 2021, which significantly reduced the randomness of wallet mnemonic phrase generation, allowing attackers to potentially reconstruct private keys offline and steal funds. As of now, approximately 82% of the stolen BTC in the entire Coldcard attack incident has not yet been transferred.Galaxy Research believes that if the newly discovered suspected victim addresses are included in the statistics, the total amount of stolen BTC may reach about 1,806, worth approximately 144 million dollars.

Blockchain Rocket announced that an on-chain attack occurred on September 5, resulting in a loss of approximately $287,000 in funds. The attacker exploited dormant perpetual markets on Rocket, placing artificially inflated price orders through disposable accounts and trading with themselves, generating false profits on the accounts while causing the disposable accounts to go bankrupt. The attacker then withdrew approximately $287,000 in profits from the Bridge.Currently, all deposits, withdrawals, and trading have been suspended. The team is working with security firms and law enforcement agencies, coordinating with exchanges, cross-chain bridges, and stablecoin issuers to track and freeze the stolen funds. The official statement indicates that a recovery plan is being developed, prioritizing refunds for small accounts, with specific details to be announced as soon as possible.

Galaxy Research published that the attackers in the Coldcard "Wave 3" attack are still continuously transferring the stolen funds. During this phase, the attackers created 293 2-of-2 multi-signature wallets for each victim's assets. The first batch of funds was transferred across chains to Ethereum via THORChain; the latest round of transfers has begun entering the CoinJoin mixing process.Currently, the Wave 3 attackers are processing the largest amounts of stolen funds in order of the stolen amount, having sequentially transferred the funds from wallets ranked 1 to 11. The next 10 wallets that have not yet been transferred hold a total of 30.81 BTC, while wallets ranked 61 to 293 hold a total of 33.77 BTC. So far, the attackers have transferred about 45% of the stolen assets from this exploit, with funds flowing to Ethereum (via THORChain) or entering CoinJoin mixing transactions. Additionally, this fund transfer has revealed a previously unknown wallet: 58 addresses jointly spent in a 2-of-2 multi-signature format identical to that of Wave 3, and these were further transferred by the Wave 3 attackers to a jump address that funds CoinJoin.The on-chain analysis team currently marks this wallet as "cause = open," but believes it likely also belongs to Coldcard victims, which means the number of wallets involved in Wave 3 may increase to 294, raising the previously reported total amount stolen from the Coldcard vulnerability to approximately 1806 BTC. Currently, about 82% of the stolen BTC remains in addresses initially controlled by the attackers, while about 18% has been transferred, with the flow of funds indicating that it may be undergoing laundering processes.

Figure co-founder and Executive Chairman Mike Cagney tweeted that DeFi is more suitable for asset-backed finance (ABF), which can avoid double pledging, directly improve collateral, self-custody or autonomous venues, and liquidity collateral. He believes that Figure has brought ABF on-chain, but overall it is still in the early stages, with approximately $60 trillion of the market yet to migrate on a large scale.He also listed five reasons why traditional finance has been slow to enter on-chain applications: poor interface experience, which has allowed applications like Robinhood and SoFi to win on the retail side; the long-term difficulty of achieving qualified custody and recoverable self-custody; hedge funds and others requiring multiple wallets, multiple users, tiered permissions, and complete audits to be exported to fund administration and accounting; regulation is being streamlined, and the precedent for on-chain native securities is becoming clearer, with hopes for the CLARITY Act and guidelines; and KYC issues are easier to resolve than the outside world thinks, as on-chain programmatic screening and wallet-level permissions can be implemented.
