After the fund freeze on Arbitrum, the Kelp DAO hacker began moving crypto into the Bitcoin network through THORChain.

Arbitrum froze 30,765 ETH ($70 million) belonging to the Kelp DAO hacker. Earlier today, the Arbitrum Security Council reportedly executed a special system transaction from the hacker’s wallet using a privileged transaction type: ArbitrumUnsignedTxType (EIP-2718 type 0x65 / 101). Through this transaction, 30,765 ETH was moved to the 0x0000…DA0 address without using the private key controlled by the attacker. Arbitrum did not reorganize blocks or rewrite blockchain history — the chain’s order remained intact. Instead, the Security Council used a privileged state-override transaction built into ArbOS, a mechanism that had effectively never been publicly used before. Functionally, this was a state-level recovery: the attacker’s private key could still sign transactions, but the ETH balance was reassigned by the council. This mechanism is reserved in Arbitrum’s progressive decentralization framework for “catastrophic” emergencies, requiring a 12-of-N Security Council action, and this is one of the clearest public demonstrations of its use.

Adam Back suggested that Satoshi Nakamoto may have permanently lost his private keys. He noted that during the early days of the network, backing up the wallet.dat file was inconvenient, as users had to manually update the backup after each transaction. According to the industry veteran, the exact balance of Bitcoin’s creator is still unknown. The commonly cited estimate of 1 million BTC is based on hypotheses, and some of those coins may actually belong to other early miners. Back personally believes Nakamoto’s share is closer to 500,000 BTC.
