MultiversX Mainnet Restarts After Five-Day Halt
MultiversX (EGLD)

cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that MultiversX resumed block production on September 24, ending a five-day network halt caused by an exploit. The blockchain's technical account, @CodeMultiversX, confirmed that a recovery upgrade was deployed and normal network activity could continue. An official gateway returned a block timestamp for September 24, verifying that the network was reporting new blocks.
However, Kraken maintained a different status for its customers on that same day. The exchange's incident page showed cancel-only trading with paused deposits and withdrawals, meaning new orders and trade execution were barred. This pause stemmed from an attempted exploit of a virtual-machine atomicity issue that caused invalid state changes, as announced by @MultiversX on September 19.
Engineering completed recovery checks by September 24, though the exact stop and restart times remain unspecified. The chain's restart did not automatically restore the ability to trade EGLD or move it through Kraken. The disruption lasted approximately five days, with no specific resolution notice posted by the exchange. The source notes that the statements do not fix the exact times of the disruption.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for EGLD, measured when this story was written up on 25 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
EGLD is trading at $4.34 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 54.4%, indicating that buying pressure has strengthened over the full day compared to the 1-hour and 4-hour windows. The 1-hour and 4-hour buy ratios sit at 44.4% and 45.5% respectively, showing that recent trading activity has leaned slightly toward sellers. Volume Delta reflects this shift, with a positive $86,228 over 24 hours contrasting against negative deltas of -$4,222 and -$16,581 for the 1-hour and 4-hour periods. Volume Delta measures the net difference between buy and sell volume, so positive values indicate net buying while negative values indicate net selling. The Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) closed at +$31,589, confirming that net buying dominated the session despite the recent short-term dip.
The latest daily buy ratio of 45.3% sits at the 18th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.5% - weaker buying than most days.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for EGLD, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, EGLD saw a 7-day average buy ratio of 51.3%, with the latest day exceeding this average by 3.1 points. This suggests that today's buying activity is slightly more robust than the weekly norm, though spot volume remains at only 0.50x the average. The coin has gained 10.6% over eight days, supported by a total Volume Delta of +$604,282. Net buying occurred on five of the seven days, indicating a generally positive trend leading into this restart. While the daily buy ratio is above average, the halved volume suggests this is a quieter day for trading activity compared to typical weeks.
