Upbit placed MultiversX's EGLD token under trading caution following a mainnet exploit attempt involving a VM-level atomicity issue, suspending deposits and withdrawals. The network paused progression to address invalid state changes, while exchanges like Kraken halted trading and withdrawals, with Upbit reviewing EGLD trading status until late October.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Crypto & Web3.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face paused EGLD transfers and trading restrictions on major exchanges like Upbit and Kraken after a mainnet exploit attempt. Resume operations depends on security fixes and regulator reviews, making your liquidity and market access immediately uncertain.
