Key Takeaways
An address linked to the historic Infini hack has become active, swapping a significant amount of stolen Ether for Wrapped Bitcoin. This move highlights the persistent challenge of tracking illicit funds on-chain and the potential market risks posed by large volumes of compromised assets.
- Hacker activity resumes: An address suspected to be the Infini hacker swapped 3003 ETH for 87 WBTC on February 21, 2026.
- Funds obfuscation: The newly acquired 87 WBTC were immediately transferred to a fresh wallet, a common tactic used to obscure the money trail and complicate recovery efforts.
- Liquidation risk: The event underscores the latent risk of stolen funds re-entering the market, which could create sudden selling pressure if the hacker attempts to liquidate the assets on an exchange.
