An estimated $46 million is held across 36 addresses tied to the Mercado Bitcoin attack, giving traders a measure of tracked funds while the exchange has not disclosed total losses.

The $46 million figure describes balances in the tracker’s grouped addresses. Mercado Bitcoin says customers suffered no losses, but has not disclosed how much the incident cost the company overall. Its statement about customer impact does not establish a total financial impact for the exchange.

The 36-address count describes the tracked cluster, while the dollar figure values funds associated with those addresses. Together, the details provide a snapshot of the tracked wallets, not a company-issued accounting of losses.

That distinction leaves two measures in view: the value assigned to the addresses and the customer outcome Mercado Bitcoin has described. The exchange has not put a total loss figure alongside either measure. For traders, the $46 million estimate offers an incident-scale reference, but the full loss remains undisclosed.
