The price of Fantom Coin (FTM) has dived by 11% in the past 24 hours, after a hack of Fantom's Multichain bridge resulted in a loss of cryptocurrencies worth upwards of $126 million.

As mentioned above, the reason for this selloff is a major hack of Fantom's Multichain bridge, which normally enables users to transfer assets from one chain to another.
However, it has just fallen foul of a serious exploit, which has resulted in
