On July 7, the Multichain team announced via Twitter that the assets locked at the Multichain MPC address had abnormally moved to an unknown address. The team was unsure of the cause and began an investigation. They recommended that all users discontinue use of Multichain services and revoke all Multichain-related contract approvals. They also announced that the Multichain service had been stopped and that all bridging transactions would be stuck on the source chains. They did not provide a confirmed time to resume service and advised users not to use the Multichain bridging service.
On July 8, Circle and Tether, two major stablecoin issuers, froze more than $65 million in assets that had been transferred from the Multichain. This amount represented approximately half of the assets that moved abnormally.
