Chainalysis said on November 2 that it had supported tracing and containment efforts after a security incident involving Mercado Bitcoin. It described the incident as approximately $49 million and said nearly $10 million had been frozen with partners’ help. Those figures are Chainalysis’s account, not a final audited loss or confirmation that customers have been reimbursed. Frozen funds have not necessarily been returned, and their release may require further legal approvals.
