Wallets associated with the Drift Protocol exploit moved 24,885 Ether (ETH) into Tornado Cash on Oct. 21, while retaining a separate balance valued at about $139.3 million.

The deposit was valued at roughly $61.3 million. The addresses had 56,569 ETH remaining after the Oct. 21 transaction, with an estimated value of $139.3 million. That remaining amount was more than twice the new deposit by token count. The first figure is the Oct. 21 outflow; the second is the ETH remaining at the addresses.

A separate 25,710 ETH transfer on Oct. 20 preceded the latest movement. Drift Protocol operates a trading platform on Solana, and the exploit involved more than $270 million in stolen assets.

Tornado Cash obscures links between incoming funds and later withdrawals. The transaction data records the deposit, but does not show whether the ETH was later sold or recovered.
