After NEAR Intents and Chainflip blocked roughly $50 million in swaps as reported yesterday, the Bitget attacker moved about 2,746 ZEC (~$3.9 million), 15% of the 18,900 ZEC stolen, into Zcash's Ironwood shielded pool, a privacy tool that hides sender, recipient and amount and complicates tracing.

About $50 million of the Bitget hacker's stolen funds were swapped through NEAR Intents, which says it froze roughly $503,000 of the flow while about $166,000 passed through, putting its "permissionless" design under scrutiny alongside THORChain's earlier refusal to block the attacker's wallets.
