What’s new

MistTrack (01:37 UTC Oct 1) says a Bitget-linked address still swapped DAI into USDT, bridged via USDT0 to Tron, and converted on SunSwap (~90,967 USDT→USDD; ~19,000 USDT→TRX)—ongoing laundering, not a new theft (10434). Issuer freezes stay near $318k. Bitget’s final reopen remains 08:00 UTC Oct 2 on the Bitget hack tracker.
