On November 4, 2026, Cryptopolitan reported that BitMart founder Sheldon Xia confirmed the exchange was hacked on November 2. The preliminary investigation points to the same group involved in the attack on Mercado Bitcoin. Bitquery data shows that the attackers transferred approximately $391,000 from a BitMart-associated wallet, with the outflow occurring 53 minutes earlier than the Mercado Bitcoin incident. BitMart announced in July that it would cease operations, and the report stated that its security team is currently “severely understaffed.” As of the time of reporting, it had not been disclosed whether users’ balances were affected or whether BitMart would compensate for the losses.
