Liquid is FIC infrastructure built on top of Bitcoin. It’s a federated sidechain built by Blockstream and operated by a federation of exchanges, financial institutions, banks and other companies. It’s not Bitcoin. A security incident has resulted in ~4,000 $BTC worth ~$320m

AI visual note: A screenshot of a Bitcoin blockchain transaction shows two small transfers of 0.00000546 BTC and 0.00001000 BTC sent to the same truncated address beginning with "bc1ql4mfu6," followed by an OP_RETURN data message claiming the chain is at risk and requesting nodes be patched before returning funds, with an attached PGP-encrypted message—contextually linked to the Liquid Network security incident, a federated Bitcoin sidechain operated by Blockstream that lost approximately 4,000 BTC (~$320M), where attackers often embed ransom-like messages via OP_RETURN outputs to pressure the federation.
