🚨 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.
Here’s the on-chain breakdown:
🔹 3,677 $ETH : $8.34M
🔹 106 $BTC : $8.2M
🔹 $USDT + $USDC : $8.05M
🔹 372.99B PEPE: $1.75M
🔹 12,821 $AAVE : $1.66M
🔹 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 industry’s top priority?
