Brazilian crypto platform Mercado Bitcoin has confirmed the detection and containment of an issue in one of its systems. As a precaution, the exchange has temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals, assuring clients of the safety of their assets and the absence of a data leak. The incident occurred shortly after the platform passed a local licensing deadline. According to independent blockchain company Hypernative, suspicious outflows from wallets linked to the exchange exceeded $40 million (approximately 217 million reais). Analysts recorded the movement of assets on the Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana , Tron and Stellar (XLM) networks.
