AMLBot traces 4 BTC from Bitget breach through Wasabi CoinJoin
Blockchain compliance firm AMLBot linked about 4 BTC from the September Bitget breach to a Wasabi CoinJoin transaction round. The stolen assets moved from a Bitget-related TRON wallet through TRX, USDT, Ethereum, THORChain, and Bitcoin before entering the privacy tool. Bitget's confirmed loss from the September 24 hack was revised to roughly $387.5 million after additional Zcash and TRON assets were discovered.
AMLBot's review indicates that funds taken in the September Bitget incident did not remain on a single network. The assets reportedly started in a TRON wallet connected to the exchange, were converted among TRX and USDT, crossed to Ethereum, and then passed through THORChain before becoming Bitcoin.
Roughly 4.59 BTC arrived at Wasabi, where smaller amounts entered a CoinJoin round. AMLBot connected about 4 BTC in that round to the original TRON wallet. Bitget later raised its confirmed loss to about $387.5 million after more Zcash and TRON assets were identified.
This development may affect crypto exchange users, compliance teams, and investigators by reinforcing that cross-chain laundering remains traceable but resource-intensive. It could increase pressure on privacy tools and bridges to strengthen monitoring, while potentially raising compliance costs and shaping how victims and regulators assess recovery odds. Ordinary traders may see more address blacklisting and delayed withdrawals if exchanges tighten risk controls.
