Mercado Bitcoin Hack Leaves $46M Stolen, $9M Frozen and PEPE, AAVE, PENDLE Exposed

Investigators traced about $46 million stolen from Mercado Bitcoin through 65 addresses and froze more than $9 million. The attacker still controls roughly $1.79 million in PEPE, $1.61 million in AAVE and $1.39 million in PENDLE, plus ETH, BTC, USDT and USDC. No confirmed exchange deposits suggest large-scale liquidation has not begun, but token transfers could add selling pressure.
