Monero is shaken by block restructuring, tensions with Qubic escalate again

Monero experienced a reorganization of up to 18 blocks, resulting in more than 100 transactions invalid and issued a warning requiring users to wait for 10 confirmations above the standard before accepting payments. Monero Research Laboratory pointed out that the restructuring exceeded the lock-in time of 10 blocks in the network, resulting in 117-118 transactions being isolated for nearly 40 minutes. There are speculations that Qubic was involved in the restructuring and accused it of selfish mining strategies, but the founder of Qubic denied these claims. Despite this restructuring, the price of XMR has risen by more than 6% within 24 hours.
