Approximately 600 BTC remains unreturned after hackers drained roughly 4,000 BTC from the Liquid sidechain, according to information reported by Decrypt. The attackers have sent back about 3,400 BTC, leaving a shortfall valued at around $47 million based on the source report. Blockstream is negotiating with individuals who describe themselves as “white hats,” though their claims have drawn some skepticism. Liquid is associated with Blockstream, while Bitcoin is the asset affected by the incident. The recovery has therefore returned most of the cryptocurrency taken in the hack, but a substantial amount remains outstanding. The report does not state that the remaining BTC has been recovered or provide a conclusion to the discussions with the alleged white hats.
