The Bitget hacker, who stole $388 million in a recent breach, has begun laundering the stolen funds by transferring $19.48 million across 52 transactions. This development, reported by Finbold, suggests the start of a complex process to obscure the origin of the stolen assets.

The total crypto market cap stands at $2.77 trillion, with the overall market experiencing a downturn. Bitcoin is down 1.51% over the past 24 hours, and the Fear & Greed Index remains at 51, indicating a neutral market sentiment.

The laundering of stolen funds is a critical issue for the crypto industry, as it underscores the challenges in securing digital assets and the difficulties in tracking and recovering stolen funds. The incident may prompt increased scrutiny and calls for stronger security measures and regulatory oversight.
