Liquid has not yet confirmed exactly how much has been taken, but based on the related addresses, more than 107 BTC, 9,000,000 TRX, 11,000,000 XRP, and almost $60 million worth of ETH and ERC-20 tokens appear to have been taken by the hackers.

There are reports that the Ethereum wallet compromised held deposits from Celsius Network. Withdrawals and deposits have now been suspended on Liquid Exchange

Kucoin promptly responded to the hack by blacklisting the addresses involved in the hack, according to a tweet from the CEO of Kucoin.
