Meta: The FTX hacker’s wallet address holds about $340 million in crypto. Is Kraken aware of the identity of the FTX hacker? The investigation is underway.
How Much Does the FTX Hacker Hold in BTC, ETH, and BNB?
The FTX hacker’s wallet address holds about $340 million in crypto now after an arbitrary loss of $28.6 million. The address currently holds:
160k ETH- $201 million
148k BNB- $41.7 million
10k PAXG -$17.8 million
145k SOL- $2 million
, along with $85.9 million in stablecoins and roughly 30.9 million USDT blacklisted by Tether.
FTX and FTX.US exploit last weekend came just hours after it filed for bankruptcy. The hacker drained $600 million in crypto assets out of the wallets. Several users reported that their balancer turned to zero during the attack.
The exchange is taking the necessary action to protect user assets while working with law enforcement and is working to remove withdrawal and trading functions.
Kraken says that it has identified the Kraken address owner tied to the exploit. This comes in as the investigators tracked the hacker’s trail to the crypto exchange. However, whether this person is directly responsible or their account was compromised is still not revealed.
