Summary

A wallet tied to the ResolvLabs attacker has moved 580 ETH worth about $1.09 million on Ethereum, putting the stolen-fund trail back under scrutiny. The transfer is visible from an address flagged in connection with the incident, but the available evidence supports only that the assets were moved from one wallet to another, not that they were sold, sent to an exchange, bridged, mixed, or converted to fiat. The renewed activity matters because the Resolv exploit was significant: the project’s stablecoin USR dropped sharply after an attacker minted USR in an incident that CoinDesk reported involved roughly $80 million. Investigators will now watch whether the funds are split across fresh addresses, parked, or routed toward services that could complicate tracing.
