Truebit TRU Token Plunges 99.9% After $26 Million Smart Contract Exploit

The statement is strongly supported by a consensus across multiple, authoritative, and relevant primary sources. Five independent news outlets, including Yahoo Finance, Cointelegraph, and Bitcoin.com News, corroborate the core claims.First, all relevant sources confirm that a smart contract exploit connected to the Truebit protocol occurred, with the value of the exploit consistently reported as approximately or over $26 million.Second, these sources unanimously report that this exploit was immediately followed by a catastrophic price collapse of the Truebit (TRU) token. The specific percentage of the decrease is reported with slight variations: 99%, 99.95%, and near-100%. The statement's claim of a 99.9% decrease is highly consistent with these reports, especially the 99.95% figure provided by one source. The minor differences are likely attributable to rounding or the precise timing of reporting during a highly volatile event. These slight variations do not contradict the fundamental truth of a near-total value loss.Therefore, the evidence provides strong, consistent support for the statement that the Truebit TRU token's value decreased by approximately 99.9% following a $26 million smart contract exploit.
