The Breach
The Bitget incident involved multiple wallet targets, with two accounts nearly depleted and a third currently under sustained drain.
Ripple's Limitations
Despite Ripple's efforts, the protocol cannot freeze the stolen XRP, highlighting ongoing challenges in enforcing asset recovery through centralized exchanges.
Remaining Funds
Across the five original holding accounts, approximately $75 million remains untransferred, indicating substantial illicit movement continues.
Implications
- Market volatility may follow due to large-scale cross-chain theft events
