The tBTC bridge has partially resumed onchain operations after a nine-day security pause due to a critical Linux kernel vulnerability. However, an Aave reserve holding approximately $120 million in tBTC remains frozen, preventing new deposits and borrowing. As of November 9, 2026, about 4,320 BTC is in bridge wallets against 4,185 tBTC in circulation, with no unauthorized transfers detected. Aave's freeze was implemented on October 31 to mitigate risks while redemptions were unavailable.
