Threshold has partially resumed tBTC bridging after halting the service for a critical server vulnerability, while a reported $120 million Aave reserve remains unavailable. Aave (AAVE) is trading at ₹12,331 ($131.11), up 3.0% since this brief published. This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by Cointelegraph, with live market data added, as of Mon, 09 Nov 2026 09:00:01 UTC.

- tBTC bridge partially reopens as Aave-linked reserve stays frozen — this brief
Threshold partially resumed its tBTC bridge after halting the service on Oct. 30 while operators addressed a critical Linux kernel vulnerability. According to Cointelegraph, the flaw could permit remote code execution on servers that had not been patched, prompting the temporary shutdown. Despite the reopening, a reported $120 million 
Aave reserve remains frozen.
The available coverage does not specify how many bridge functions returned, the extent of the reserve’s exposure, or whether the reserve has been restored. It likewise provides no timeline for a full reopening or release of the frozen assets. The partial resumption therefore indicates that some tBTC operations have returned without marking the incident as completely resolved.
DeFiLlama’s live figures show tBTC TVL at $319.2 million, down 5.4% over seven days. Aave TVL was $16.22 billion, also lower by 1.9% over the same period. These values provide market context for the two protocols but do not establish how much of either figure is directly affected by the bridge disruption.
The wider crypto market was broadly weaker, with total market capitalization at $2.53 trillion. 
Bitcoin declined 2.83% over 24 hours, while the Fear & Greed index registered 29, placing sentiment in the “Fear” category. AAVE traded at $127.29, falling 2.37% over 24 hours and 4.44% over seven days; its market capitalization was $1.97 billion.
The remaining issues to monitor are whether tBTC bridging returns to full operation and whether the frozen Aave-linked reserve is released. Until those conditions are met, the incident continues to affect protocol activity even as the broader market trades under visible risk-off conditions.
Since this brief published about 5 hours ago, Aave (AAVE) has moved from ₹11,971.30$127.29 to ₹12,330.57$131.11 — +3.00%, a notable move.
The chart plots AAVE's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 AAVE ≈ ₹13,110.34 (about $131.11), up 0.6% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 6.3% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
