VeChain Denies Bybit Claim of 'Hidden Freeze' Mechanism

Published at 2025-11-14 14:10:25

VeChain responded via its official X account to recent claims from Bybit that a “hidden freeze” function exists in the protocol, calling the allegation inaccurate. The company said the 2019 blocklist referenced in the claim was not designed as a secret kill switch and reiterated that the list’s historical context and intent have been mischaracterized.

The clarification matters for network trust and for VET holders, as suggestions of centralized remote control can affect custodial relationships and exchange listings. Market participants and community members will likely seek further detail or independent verification; watchers will be looking for a follow-up from Bybit or third‑party audits to close the episode. For now, VeChain’s statement aims to reassure users and counterparties about the protocol’s operational intentions.
