On the fateful day of January 16, the astute on-chain investigator, ZachXBT, unveiled the monumental theft, which tragically siphoned off the victim’s digital fortune, consisting of 2.05 million Litecoin (LTC) and 1,459 Bitcoin (BTC).

NFT buyers skyrocketed by 120.90% to 134,743, while sellers weren’t far behind, rising by 98.69% to 111,756. And all this while Bitcoin clawed its way back to $95K and Ethereum danced past $3,200. 🕺
