Stolen XRP Trapped in Unfreezable Wallets

A recent hack on Bitget has led to the theft of $157 million in XRP, but there's a twist - the stolen funds remain inaccessible due to a technicality. According to reports, the attackers managed to withdraw the cryptocurrency, but it is currently stuck in wallets that cannot be frozen. This unexpected turn of events may provide some temporary relief for investors who had their assets compromised.

The hack on Bitget was first reported earlier this year, with the exchange confirming a security breach and subsequent theft of XRP. The exact details of how the hackers carried out the attack remain unclear, but it's believed that they exploited a vulnerability in the exchange's systems to steal the cryptocurrency.
