Was there a Monero 51% attack today?

Holders of the world’s largest privacy coin lost over $300 million in market capitalization today after a promotional stunt dominated Monero’s proof-of-work mining network. Despite a broad rally in crypto asset prices today, Monero (XMR) lost 7% of its value over the last 24 hours over fears of a “51% attack” as small token project Qubic attempted a mining network takeover.
