BitMart’s founder confirmed that a hack occurred during the company’s restructuring. Bitquery tracked approximately $391,000 in outflows, mainly from wallets associated with BitMart, to an address previously used in an attack on Mercado Bitcoin.
What’s confirmed is that the founder acknowledged the attack, and that the amount and destination were tracked on-chain. The material doesn’t explain the attack method, who ultimately bears the loss, or whether the same party was behind the Mercado Bitcoin incident.
· The overlap with an address used in an earlier attack is the on-chain clue worth watching most closely in this story, but an overlap alone doesn’t mean it was the same actor.
Would you first investigate the address’s transaction history, or wait for BitMart to disclose its estimate of the losses?
