BloomTrading bot users lose nearly $1M as wallets drained of 9,408 SOL

  • —48–49 wallets were hit, with losses estimated at $950,000–$954,000
  • —Losses were almost entirely in SOL; some USDC was left untouched
  • —Individual traders reported personal losses of up to $80,000
  • —Bloom generates and holds users' private keys and has promised reimbursement
Why it matters: The breach sharpens scrutiny of custodial trading bots, where the platform rather than the user controls wallet keys.
