Liquid Network releases emergency fix: Elements v23.3.4 fixes Proof verification cache vulnerability

Liquid Network has released the latest update stating that the emergency version Elements v23.3.4 is now online. Functionary nodes have immediately begun upgrading and all Liquid node operators are advised to synchronize updates. This version addresses the previously discovered Proof verification cache vulnerability and strengthens the cache keys used for Range Proof.Regarding network recovery, Blockstream states that it is still formulating a recovery plan, which is expected to proceed in three phases: restoring block production while continuing to suspend Peg operations; replaying verified valid transactions; and restoring Peg operations after the network status is fully restored and funds are confirmed to be returned. Currently, the first two phases are being tested in parallel, and any phase will only advance once safety is confirmed. Liquid Network indicates that Elements v23.3.4 has completed multiple rounds of internal and external reviews, with participants including the Bitcoin Red Team, Alpen Labs, and other teams.At the same time, Liquid Network reminds users to be vigilant against fraudulent upgrade websites exploiting this incident. Information should only be obtained through official Liquid Network and Blockstream channels, and users should never send funds to strangers or disclose private keys or recovery phrases.

Two Prime CEO: Bitcoin's rebound still has room, and the short covering of volatility will provide additional momentum

According to CoinDesk, Alexander Blume, founder and CEO of the cryptocurrency asset management company Two Prime, stated that Bitcoin's recent rebound still has room to grow, mainly because institutional investors who have sold volatility are facing position pressure. If the price continues to rise, short sellers being forced to cover their positions will further fuel the upward trend. He pointed out that the current market structure is healthy, with funding rates not showing signs of overheating. The rebound is not driven by speculation, and the continuous inflow of spot ETFs and corporate buying provides substantial support.Although implied volatility has risen from 23%-24% to over 40, it remains low by historical standards. If call option sellers are forced to close their positions, it could accelerate the upward movement. Blume believes that if the macro environment stabilizes, BTC has already formed a bottom around $60,000, with the biggest risk coming from a complete collapse of risk assets. The generally pessimistic market sentiment means that even moderate positive news could have an outsized impact.On the mining front, MARA recently chose to collateralize its BTC holdings to obtain a $600 million loan from Coinbase and Two Prime, rather than selling directly, in order to retain upside potential. Mining companies are diversifying their AI transformation strategies, with Cipher Mining and TeraWulf actively shifting towards AI infrastructure, while CleanSpark and MARA explore AI and power sectors while maintaining their original businesses. Blume expects the Trump administration to push for interest rate cuts, and adjustments to the PCE index may lower inflation readings, which could improve interest rate prospects.
