Odaily reported that according to on-chain analyst Yu Jing, the MEXC hot wallet transferred 12,652 stETH (approximately $33.75 million) to the Bybit cold wallet in the past 1 hour. Bybit should have received a loan support of 64,452 ETH (approximately $170 million) from Bitget, an institution that withdrew from Binance, and MEXC.

Bit Finance News reported that regarding the previous asset theft incident, Bybit officially released the detailed event announcement for the first time: At 20:30 Beijing time on February 21, Bybit detected unauthorized activity in the Ethereum cold wallet during a routine transfer. This transfer was part of Bybit's official plan to move ETH from the ETH multi-signature cold wallet to the hot wallet. Unfortunately, the transaction was manipulated by a complex attack that changed the smart contract logic and hid the signature interface, allowing the attacker to control the ETH cold wallet. As a result, over 400,000 ETH and stETH worth over $1.5 billion were transferred to unknown addresses. Stolen funds: ETH and stETH worth over $1.5 billion. Main reason: The ETH multi-signature cold wallet was maliciously manipulated during the planned routine transfer process. Bybit reiterates the following key points: All other cold wallets under Bybit are in a secure state, and customer funds are not affected; please beware of other scams; although withdrawal requests have surged, the high request volume may cause withdrawal delays, but all withdrawals are being processed normally, and 70% of the pending requests have been processed; Bybit's reserve is strong and 1:1 backed, and all customer assets are fully secured, and users can check the relevant information on the PoR webpage. At the same time, Bybit is working with leading blockchain forensic experts to track the stolen funds and resolve the situation; the in-house security team is investigating the root cause, with a particular focus on potential vulnerabilities in the Safe.global platform user interface that may have been exploited during the transaction process. Bybit's asset management scale exceeds $20 billion, and if necessary, it will use a bridge loan to ensure the availability of user funds. Bybit's platform and all other services, including trading products, cards, and P2P, are operating normally.

In the early morning of February 22nd, on-chain detective Zachxbt monitored suspicious fund outflows from Bybit. Subsequent on-chain records show that a Bybit multi-signature address transferred ETH worth $1.5 billion and used a DEX to convert LSD assets into native ETH. Possibly affected by FUD sentiment, Ethereum briefly fell below $2,700, and Bybit's native platform token MNT briefly fell below $0.9, a 24-hour drop of 7.71%.
