Yeah, it's ugly. Industry-wide mess for sure.
But here's the thing — when a hack this size goes down and everyone jumps in that fast to lock things up? That's actually the system working. Not perfectly, but working.
I've seen enough of these over the years to know: coordination like this didn't exist a few cycles ago. Now stablecoin issuers can freeze funds in hours. That's not nothing.
Still a problem? Absolutely. But it's also proof the rails are getting stronger. We're not just sitting ducks anymore.
