Brazil’s Mercado Bitcoin suspended deposits and withdrawals on Monday after identifying and containing a security incident affecting one of its systems. The company says customers suffered no losses and that no data was leaked, but it has not identified the compromised system, the amount stolen or when operations will resume. Blockchain security firm Hypernative estimates that suspicious transfers exceeded $40 million across several blockchains, while Tether froze more than 4.5 million USDT linked to the incident. Mercado Bitcoin has published destination addresses across Bitcoin, Ethereum-compatible networks, Solana, Stellar and Tron to facilitate the tracing and freezing of funds.
