Hacker Launders $5.5M via Circle CCTP After Withdrawing 3200 ETH
2026-07-05 17:16

Woofun AI reports that a hacker withdrew approximately 3200 ETH from Tornado Cash between July 2 and 3, with funds tied to two private key leak incidents. The assets were subsequently laundered across chains using Circle’s CCTP cross-chain bridge, moving roughly $5.5 million in USDC to seven deposit addresses on the Arbitrum network. ZachXBT characterized the transaction flow as a decentralized money laundering strategy employing mixing tools and cross-chain infrastructure to hinder tracking efforts, while related on-chain assets remain in active circulation.
