You’re a #Bitget user staring at a disabled "Withdraw" button while watching hackers freely move millions in stolen XRP. 🛑💸
It’s a frustrating paradox right now for retail holders. While Bitget has locked external XRP withdrawals as a "security measure" until October 2nd, the attackers aren't waiting around. On-chain data from Bitquery reveals that the hackers have already funneled over 27.6 million stolen XRP through cross-chain swaps on THORChain, systematically converting it to Bitcoin to cover their tracks.
Meanwhile, another 75 million stolen XRP just sits in the attackers' wallets, waiting for its turn.
Yes, the exchange needs time to patch its infrastructure after a massive $387.5M breach, and yes, internal trading is still technically open. But this situation highlights the ultimate centralized exchange reality: when a breach happens, the bad actors are already miles down the road, while the actual users are stuck behind an API lock, forced to wait for a scheduled "reopening phase."
We are watching a live race between the hackers cashing out and the exchange restoring access. For the users whose funds are frozen in place, October 2nd can't come fast enough. ⏳🔐
