Dieser Betrag setzte sich aus 24.400 von Lido Finance verpackten Ethereum Staking Token (wstETH) im Wert von ca. 41,4 Millionen Dollar und 3.000 Rocket Pool Ethereum Staking Token (rETH) im Wert von ca. 5 Millionen Dollar zusammen, die zu MakerDAO verschoben wurden.

The hacker appears to be seeking yield or arbitrage opportunities as they exchanged the assets for 16.6 million DAI, which was then used to purchase ETH and stETH.
The prices of stETH and wstETH have deviated from Ethereum and increased, with wstETH reaching as high as $1,676, 11.3% higher than the underlying asset.
On Feb. 10, an on-chain observer noticed the hacker „buying the dip.“ This latest movement comes just a few weeks after the hacker transferred $155 million worth of Ethereum to a decentralized exchange.
