The protocol suffered a critical June 2024 security breach in which an attacker compromised the Official Guardian two-factor authentication server, draining approximately $5 million from 58 smart wallet accounts. Subsequent to the hack, Loopring wound down its consumer wallet product, shut down DeFi services, lost listings on major exchanges including Binance, Upbit, and Bithumb, and saw its CEO resign in August 2025, leaving the project's long-term viability in serious question.","timeline":[{"date":"2017-08-01","event":"Loopring conducts ICO, raising approximately 120,000 ETH (~$45M).","source":""},{"date":"2017-09-04","event":"People's Bank of China bans ICOs; Loopring refunds approximately 85%+ of raised ETH to investors.","source":""},{"date":"2020-01-01","event":"Loopring launches public zkRollup exchange at loopring.io.","source":""},{"date":"2021-11-10","event":"LRC reaches all-time high of approximately $3.83 amid bull market speculation.","source":""},{"date":"2022-01-01","event":"Founder Daniel Wang departs CEO role; joins Taiko Labs.
