BTC to unknown addresses – Bits Media />

About 10 last night% stolen in 2016 year from the cryptocurrency exchange of Bitfinex bitcoins worth $623 Milln were transferred to unknown addresses as part of a series of transactions.

According to Whale Alert Analytical Service Posts on Twitter, Associated with Bitfinex Breaks 10 000 BTC worth more $623 Milln were transferred to unknown addresses as part of a series of transactions from 1 to 600 BTC. Translations occurred at that moment, когда участники индустрии увлеченно следили за листингом биржи Coinbase на Nasdaq.

The Trade The Chain service confirmed the number of displaced coins and said, that they make up about 10% from 119 756 BTC, stolen from Bitfinex as a result of hacking in 2016 year. Trade Analytics The Chain Nick Mansa (Nick Mancini) said:

“We believe, that BTC translations began during direct listing Coinbase. Such loud info -foams allow hackers to get less public, Considering, that fewer people track their movements or report it. Everyone was focused on Coinbase listing ".

Last November, hackers hacked by Bitfinex moved 5 000 BTC to unknown addresses. Analysts do not think, that the current series of transactions will affect the price of BTC. Partner Cinneamhain Venture Adam Cocryan (Adam Cochran) wrote on Twitter:

"Stolen from Bitfinex in 2016 year BTC is one of the most tracked and entered in black lists of sites around the world. No exchange will process them. It is almost impossible to cash out ".

However, Mancini said, that with the growth of decentralized exchanges (DEX) Hackers have the opportunity to hide the addresses of the stolen BTC using popular money collecting money in cryptocurrencies, eg, through the primary placement of DEX (IDO).

“Although this takes a lot of time, difficult and to some extent monitors, We have already seen on wallets, where the money was transferred, How hackers are trying to cover traces as best as possible ", - said Mancini. “I suspect, that this is not the final destination for these coins, And the first stop for many ways, which the attackers will go, To ultimately benefit from BTC ".

Bitcoins first stolen at Bitfinex set in the summer - then the hackers moved around 172 BTC. Since then, attackers gradually bring stolen crypto acts to unknown addresses. In October, hackers took more 2 480 BTC for an unknown wallet.
