Ethereum Classic (ETC), the smaller spinoff of Ethereum, is still reeling from the 51% attack that was carried out on its blockchain, resulting in the theft of more than $1 million in ETC tokens and an almost 10% erosion of the cryptocurrency’s value.
Reactions to this attack have been pouring in from various quarters, including the temporary ban placed on various activities involving ETC by major cryptocurrency exchange platforms such as Coinbase and Kraken. Industry experts and institutions have also weighed in on the matter, how this incident could affect the public perception and adoption of blockchains, and how incidents like this can be prevented in the future.
