According to network data, the Qubic mining pool briefly controlled more than half of Monero\u2019s hashrate, peaking at 2.6GH\/s. This majority dominance enabled Qubic to reorganize Monero\u2019s blockchain six blocks deep, effectively rewriting transaction history and orphaning approximately 60 blocks.<\/p>\n
Kraken said in a statement that Monero deposits had been paused as a security measure:
\n\u201cAs a security precaution, we have paused Monero (XMR) deposits after detecting that a single mining pool has gained more than 50% of the network\u2019s total hashing power. This concentration of mining power poses a potential risk to network integrity. We are actively monitoring the situation and will resume deposits once we determine it is safe to do so. Trading and withdrawals for XMR remain fully operational.\u201d<\/p>\n
