TREE NEWS update: Yuga Labs’ 0xQuit said 3,832 NFTs have been placed in whitehat protective custody following a scare at Magic Eden, and that the assets are safe and will be returned once the risk passes. Holders were urged to revoke NFT permissions in the meantime.
Magic Eden Risk Prompts Whitehat Custody of 3,832 NFTs
The move to whitehat custody signals that a marketplace-level risk was serious enough to justify pre-emptive intervention rather than waiting for a formal disclosure or exploit confirmation. That matters most for holders with active NFT permissions, whose exposure is contractual and revocable, not just market-driven. The open question is whether this reflects an isolated incident or a broader pattern in marketplace permission design, and whether the return of assets proceeds without further friction.
