Ostium Offers Equity Stakes to Hacked Liquidity Providers

Compensating LPs with equity rather than cash alone shifts the recovery question from "when do funds return" to "what is the claim actually worth" — an unpriced bet on the next round, with percentages still unset. The structure also creates a split between providers who take the equity and those who prefer a pure recovery claim, and the Oct. 30 election deadline forces that choice before the terms are fully specified. Whether the unset percentages and the opening-fee share are enough to hold LPs in place is the open question.
