Mercado Bitcoin began progressively restoring read-only access to customer accounts on Monday, a week after attackers drained an estimated $49 million from the platform. Customers can view their balances as of Nov. 2, the day of the attack, but the exchange has not announced a timeline for resuming withdrawals. The exchange said it would cover the losses with its own funds, following a $20 million investment from Tether in July. The recovery process also requires users to confirm their registration details before withdrawals can resume through Pix, initially only to accounts held in their own name. Mercado Bitcoin said nearly all customer assets were unaffected and were not involved in the incident.
