Thefts of customer or treasury assets from centralized cryptocurrency exchanges, including wallet compromises and the recovery or compensation that follows.
THORChain took in about $404,600 in swap fees from October 5 to 11, more than double the week before its September surge. Cryptopolitan's count has that 82% below the hack week, and its "no exploit money" label rests on an absence of reports.

Grayscale's Zcash ETF recorded a $30.25 million net outflow on Sept. 30, leaving cumulative net inflows near $268 million. With ZEC 21% below its late-September peak, the next flow prints will show whether the fund's buyers stay with the coin after its run.

BitMart's court-backed repayment plan blames a 2021 hack it now puts at $319.5 million for the hole facing more than 12 million frozen users. Each user can take a share of liquid assets now or hold tokens that depend on hack recoveries or a reopening.
Reality
Bitget CEO Gracy Chen expects to recover little of the $388 million stolen from the exchange, citing Bybit's 3.5% freeze rate. On that benchmark about $13.6 million is frozen within a year and roughly $374 million stays with whoever carries the loss.
Reality
Wallets tied to the $387.5 million Bitget hack moved 2,746 ZEC, about $3.9 million, into Zcash's Ironwood shielded pool on September 30. The deposit is about 1% of the theft, and across every route tracked so far roughly 13 dollars have gone dark for each dollar frozen.
Reality
Bitget CEO Gracy Chen asked Thorchain to refuse service to the hackers behind a theft the exchange now puts at $387.5 million. After the Bybit breach, Thorchain's validators reversed a trading halt within 30 minutes, so recovery plans have little reason to count on the protocol's help.
Reality
GoPlus Security says THORChain validators can halt the swaps that moved about $51.5 million of Bitget's stolen bitcoin and XRP. If that power exists, each DPRK-linked transfer the network signs is a choice made by its roughly 100 node operators.
