> The wallet still held 81,454 ETH, valued at about $194 million, after the Oct. 20 transfer.

A wallet linked to the Drift Protocol exploit moved 25,710 Ether (ETH), worth about $61.24 million, through Tornado Cash on Oct. 20, while a much larger balance remained in the address.

The wallet still held 81,454 ETH, valued at about $194 million, after the transfer. That balance was more than three times the amount moved in the latest round of activity. Both dollar figures reflect the value of the ETH when the activity was observed.

After roughly $285 million in assets was taken from Drift in early April, the stolen holdings were converted into 131,564 ETH at an average price of $2,154 per token. Another 24,400 ETH tied to the exploit moved through Tornado Cash in July. Together, the July and October transfers account for 50,110 ETH.

Drift Protocol is a trading platform on Solana. Tornado Cash is a privacy service on Ethereum that makes the path of deposited funds harder to trace.
