๐จ ANOTHER CRYPTO EXCHANGE HIT! $46.5M LINKED TO MERCADO BITCOIN HACKER
Brazilian crypto exchange Mercado Bitcoin has confirmed a security incident, while Arkham-tracked wallets linked to the suspected attacker hold approximately $46.5 million across 46 addresses.
Hereโs the on-chain breakdown:
๐น 3,677 $ETH : $8.34M
๐น 106 $BTC : $8.2M
๐น $USDT + $USDC : $8.05M
๐น 372.99B PEPE: $1.75M
๐น 12,821 $AAVE : $1.66M
๐น 369.84 PAXG : $1.47M
Mercado Bitcoin says the incident was contained and that customer funds and personal data were not affected.
Important: The $46.5M represents tracked wallet holdings, not a confirmed amount stolen. The exchange has not disclosed an official loss figure.
With another major exchange facing a security incident, one question remains:
How much more will it take for crypto security to become the industryโs top priority?
