tBTC Bitcoin Bridge Sees Partial Restart While DeFi Protocol Aave Reserve Stays Frozen

Operators of the tBTC Bitcoin bridge resumed limited on-chain activity after a multi-day suspension that began October 30, triggered by a critical Linux kernel vulnerability (CVE-2026-98432). The bridge UI stays disabled until enough nodes are back online; users are advised not to send Bitcoin to old deposit addresses and to start fresh deposits once the interface reopens. About 4,320 BTC is held in bridge wallets against roughly 4,185 tBTC in circulation, and the system is described as fully collateralized; Aave froze the tBTC reserve on October 31, valued at about $120 million.
