Onchain Lens says a hacker holds $46.5 million in crypto linked to Mercado Bitcoin across 46 addresses, raising questions about exchange security even as the Brazilian platform says customer funds and data were unaffected.

The reported holdings include 3,680 Ether (ETH), 106 Bitcoin (BTC) and stablecoins valued at $8 million. Together, the assets are valued at $46.5 million and spread across 46 addresses.

The address count describes how crypto linked to the hacker is distributed; it does not identify 46 separate intrusions or a number of customers. The reported balance and the exchange’s statement about customer impact describe separate measures. Mercado Bitcoin said customer funds and data were not affected.

For users, the value associated with a hacker and the amount of customer assets affected are distinct measures. Onchain Lens’ claim concerns the former. Mercado Bitcoin’s statement addresses the latter, saying customer funds and data were unaffected. Both details shape the customer impact of the reported security incident.
