Liquid Network says bitcoin reserves fully backed again after $320 million exploit

What sources claim

• The Block reported that the Liquid Network said its bitcoin reserves are back to full backing after September's exploit, with Blockstream providing the funds.
• CoinDesk reported that a final 250 BTC transfer closed the hole left by September's bug.
• Decrypt reported that Blockstream CEO Adam Back said the sidechain's defenses have been hardened and warned developers not to trust AI-suggested fixes blindly.

Still unresolved

• CoinDesk reported that the federation behind the network has not said who paid to fill the shortfall; an official statement from the Liquid federation naming the funding parties would clarify this.
• The specific hardening changes made to the sidechain's defenses would need confirmation from Blockstream or the Liquid federation.

Evidence levels describe source coverage, not the probability that a report is true. Price moves and their timing cannot establish a cause; minute samples show an observed interval and alert thresholds are heuristics. Explanations are model-assisted, with citations and figures checked. Source titles stay in their original language; full articles are not republished.
