  2. Frax Says Funds Are Safe as LayerZero Halts Cross-Chain Routes — this brief

Frax Finance said its users’ assets were safe and unaffected following an incident involving op-reth. In response, LayerZero paused cross-chain routes, according to the sole outlet covering the development, Coinfomania. The available summary does not provide a technical explanation for the incident or quantify the assets and transactions involved. Live protocol data from DeFiLlama shows Frax holding $237.15 million in total value locked, a 4.6% decline over seven days. The verified FRAX circulating supply is $142.47 million. These figures establish the protocol’s current scale but do not attribute the weekly TVL movement to the reported incident. Coinfomania is the only supplied outlet reporting the story, so the account of the asset-safety assessment and LayerZero route pause remains single-source and has not been independently corroborated within this coverage set. No other outlet summary provides a conflicting figure or additional detail about op-reth.

LayerZero’s ZRO token was priced at $1.65 in the live market snapshot, down 6.54% over 24 hours and 3.21% over seven days, with a market capitalization of $658.17 million. The broader crypto market was broadly weaker: total capitalization stood at $2.63 trillion, Bitcoin fell 4.60% over 24 hours, and the Fear & Greed index registered 50, or Neutral. The next operational points to monitor are the status of LayerZero’s cross-chain routes and any further updates from Frax or LayerZero.

What this means in rupee

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 ZRO ≈ ₹168.3 (about $1.63), down 8.8% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 9.1% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
