Crypto: Wallet Tied To Infini Exploiter Resurfaces To Buy Ether Dip For $13m

The wallet linked to Infini’s $50 million exploit reactivated after months of silence to buy the Ether dip amid a broader market downturn.

A wallet linked to the $50 million Infini exploit has become active again nearly a year after the breach, snapping up Ether during last week’s market downturn before routing the funds through a crypto mixing service.

The Infini exploiter-labelled wallet address bought $13.3 million worth of Ether (ETH) as the price dropped to $2,109 before sending the funds to crypto mixing protocol Tornado Cash, according to blockchain data platform Arkham.

“He seems very good at buying low and selling high,” blockchain tracking service Lookonchain said in a Monday X post.

The activity marked the wallet’s first known transactions since August 2025, when the same address sold about $7.4 million worth of Ether near $4,202, close to the asset’s yearly high at the time.

The renewed activity comes against the backdrop of a sharp market selloff. Crypto markets logged their 10th-largest liquidation event on record last week, with roughly $2.56 billion in leveraged positions wiped out, according to data from Coinglass.

Ether’s price briefly sank to $1,811 on Thursday, marking a nine-month low last seen at the beginning of May 2025, TradingView data shows.

The acquisition comes a year after stablecoin payment company Infini lost $50 million in an exploit suspected to have been conducted by a rogue developer who retained administrative privileges after project delivery, Cointelegraph reported in February 2025.

The stolen USDC (USDC) was immediately swapped for Dai (DAI) stablecoins that have no freeze function. The latest transactions show that the attacker is still at large with the $50 million, using it to chase more profits through cryptocurrency trading.
