GalaChain Bridge Halted After $2.9M Security Breach

The detail that most of the affected funds trace to wallets tied to the CEO reframes this from a routine bridge exploit into a governance and custody question, since bridge security usually assumes external attackers rather than insider-adjacent exposure. For GalaChain users, the practical consequence is that cross-chain liquidity is frozen while the investigation runs, leaving assets stranded on either side. Whether the pause is lifted quickly and whether the traced funds are recovered or returned are the two signals worth watching.
