The Loss Is Great

Bancor official Nate Hindman said, “Bancor’s tokens, BNTs, were prevented from transferring and the loss was prevented, but it is not possible for us to do this for other tokens. We are working to prevent hacker accounts from using the tokens by monitoring their wallets.”
BNT was seriously affected by this situation, experiencing a 14 percent decrease and trading at $2.70.
