Verge, a privacy-focused blockchain, fell victim to a reorganization attack, which, according to the network, failed.
560K+ blocks of data wiped away
Antoine Le Calvez, the chief operating officer at Coinmetrics was one of the first people to notice the attack and tweeted that more than 560,000 blocks had disappeared.Calvez added that it will take a considerable amount of time to sort out the mess created by the attack.
There is a high chance that users who bought or received Verge privacy-focused cryptocurrency XVG tokens have lost them.
Hasu, a crypto researcher at Deribits Insights tweeted that “Verge is experiencing the deepest ever reorg in any PoW blockchain.”
“An attacker has replaced 200 days worth of txns (transactions) with empty blocks, so thousands of balances have simply evaporated," Hasu continued.
Despite the scale of the attack, the researcher noted that what is scary is the fact the attack is easy to counter, an indication that GPU mineable coins are insecure.
Funds are safe
Despite the claims that users may have lost their tokens in the reorg attack, Verge assured users that their funds are safe.A few hours after the attack, several exchanges suspended incoming and outgoing Verge transactions.
According to a blog post published by Verge, the attacker tried and failed. The network’s dev team is working with a miner to prevent future instances of the hack.
“Throughout the entire day, the dev team and a miner worked hand in hand to release a hot patch and work on future update to prevent this from happening again.”This is not the first time that Verge’s blockchain has been exploited. In May 2018, the blockchain suffered a 51% attack in which the hacker drained nearly 35 million XVG tokens worth around $1.7 million at the time.
In trying to mitigate the damage, the blockchain was accidentally forked.
XVG price action
The XVG token was trading at $0.024772 in the last 24 hours. The price climbed to $0.027057 before falling to $0.021388.The token is recovering slightly though it is more than 8% down in the last 24 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
