💥 COLDCARD HACKER SWAPS $1.6M BTC INTO ETHEREUM VIA THORCHAIN
Roughly 20.5 BTC ($1.6M) tied to the 2026 Coldcard hardware-wallet theft moved through 34 THORChain swaps into Ethereum on Sept. 2-3, per blockchain tracker Bitquery.
It's the first confirmed on-chain movement from the Wave 3 attacker's addresses.
The transfers turned a mostly dormant case into an active cross-chain trail — Galaxy Research says this represents roughly 10% of that wave's stolen funds, with about 90% still parked.
Most identified Bitcoin from the broader theft, over 1,400 BTC, remains unmoved and traceable.
Investigators have flagged the new Ethereum address to authorities and exchanges.
Do you think moving funds through THORChain actually help attackers cash out? Or does it just create a clearer trail for trackers to follow? 🧑
