Le Calvez suggested the reorg could have been caused by a double-spend, in which a number of XVG tokens are used simultaneously for two separate transactions. However, due to the magnitude of the incident, Calvez admitted it will take some time for developers to comb through the data to establish the exactsource of the reorg.

As a result of this roll-back, any user who received or purchased XVG tokens since July 2020 may have lost their entire balance, with Deribit Insights' researcher "Hasu" tweeting that "thousands of balances have simply evaporated." One Verge investor tweeted that their wallet balance is now empty after the attack.
