NE Drops as Harmony's Bridge Hacked for Almost USD 100M in Ethereum

ONE, a native token of a cross-chain bridge provider, Harmony, is now one of the worst performers among the top 200 coins today, as the team confirmed they lost around ETH 85,867 (USD 99m) in a theft.

At 03:40 UTC, ONE, ranked 123rd by market capitalization on CoinGecko, trades at USD 0.024 and is down over 7% in a day and almost 4% in a week.

At around 11:13 PM UTC, Harmony said it "has identified a theft occurring this morning on the Horizon bridge amounting to approx. USD 100m." The team claims that it does not impact their bitcoin (BTC) bridge and "its funds and assets stored on decentralized vaults are safe at this time."

According to the announcement, Harmony has also notified exchanges and stopped the Horizon bridge to prevent further transactions.
