Wallets tied to the Drift Protocol hack deposited 25,700 Ether (ETH), worth about $61.56 million, into Tornado Cash, putting funds from the $270 million theft back in motion.

Drift is a decentralized trading protocol affected by a $270 million hack.

Another 81,864 ETH, worth about $195 million, remained in wallets linked to the hack.
