News:
There has been an attack on WormHole, a cross-chain bridge that enables the transfer of tokens across Ethereum, Solana, Terra, etc. for 80,000 ($212,228,986 USD) to 120,000 ETH ($322,629,600 USD). There are concerns arising regarding the backing of Wormhole ETH (whETH) on Solana. Seeing as the ETH backing these tokens have been stolen, this could lead to whETH becoming unpegged.
