Bitget hacker moves $83 million in XRP from $388 million breach

  • Bitget’s hacker moved about $83 million in stolen XRP from three wallets.
  • Nearly 103 million XRP was taken Thursday and divided among five accounts.
  • Bitget says its protection fund covers the loss and customer balances remain unaffected.

The attacker behind Bitget’s $388 million breach has moved about $83 million in stolen XRP from three wallets, leaving roughly $75 million in accounts that cannot be frozen under the XRP Ledger’s existing rules. Nearly 103 million XRP was taken Thursday and split across five accounts. XRP traded around $1.54 Saturday, down about 4% over 24 hours but up about 9% for the week. Bitget later raised its theft estimate to $387.5 million after including Zcash and TRON transfers omitted from its initial accounting, saying the higher figure reflected the original breach rather than a second attack. The exchange said its protection fund covers the loss and customer balances remain unaffected, with withdrawals scheduled to resume for Bitcoin on Sept. 28, ether on Sept. 29, USDT on Sept. 30 and other tokens on Oct. 2.
