2,746 ZEC from Bitget hack vanish into Zcash's Ironwood shielded pool

  • —2,746 ZEC worth ~$3.9 million moved into Ironwood in three transfers
  • —That is roughly 15% of the ~18,900 ZEC stolen from Bitget
  • —Funds passed through two intermediate addresses linked to the attacker
  • —About $24 million in ZEC remains on transparent addresses
Why it matters: Shielded-pool transfers are untraceable, complicating efforts to freeze stolen funds and raising scrutiny on Zcash's privacy features.
