Sept 6 — Liquid Network, a ​Bitcoin-based payments and settlement network, said on Sunday ‌that about $320 million was withdrawn from ⁠its ​federation wallet in ⁠a hack.

"Purported white-hat ‌hackers" withdrew ‌around 4,000 of the 4,200 ⁠bitcoin ⁠held in its Liquid Federation wallet, Liquid Network said in a post on X.

"Liquid wallets will be ‌impacted, and ​we're sorry for any inconvenience," Liquid Network said, adding that it has halted new transactions.

The funds were withdrawn via SideSwap, ​a settlement platform ‌permitted to ‌handle ⁠withdrawals from the network, though the key used in the process was ‌not compromised, Liquid ​Network added.
