A warning that roughly $13.3 million had been drained from the BTTC bridge was later withdrawn after Blockaid said the transfer was part of the previously announced sunset process.
BitTorrent has completed the BTTC Bridge sunset program, ending the bridge’s operation as the team redirects attention to decentralized AI and upkeep of the BitTorrent decentralized protocol. Justin Sun said on X that the BitTorrent team told him the process had been completed. He added that all funds remain safe and that users can continue depositing and withdrawing assets linked to the BTTC Bridge through partner centralized exchanges. A warning that about $13.3 million had been drained from the bridge was later withdrawn after blockchain security firm Blockaid said, following confirmation with Justin Sun and the BitTorrent team, that the transfer was a planned operation under the previously announced "BTTC Bridge Sunset Program," not an unauthorized outflow. Cross-chain bridges are often complex pieces of infrastructure, and transfers tied to shutdowns or treasury movements can sometimes be misread as exploits until project teams and monitoring firms verify the activity.
