Sept 6 : Liquid Network, a Bitcoin-based payments and settlement network, said on Sunday that about $320 million was withdrawn from its federation wallet in a hack.

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