> **Visual Note:** A blockchain transaction history shows multiple "CoW Protocol: Settlement (0x900)" trades at 12 hours ago, where a wallet (0x18B44C68eA2Cd6b1E59731afB0e49E62e90E92E66) is swapping roughly 548,000 DAI for around 1 ETH at $1M each, illustrating the repeated small DAI-to-ETH purchases mentioned in the post by hackers buying ETH.

> "Two hackers, both chose to buy ETH with DAI today. Coincidence or the same person?

[The hacker who stole funds from Coinbase users] spent 7.378 million DAI in the early hours of today to purchase 4,049.7 ETH at $1,822.

> **Visual Note:** The image displays a blockchain transaction history from "ETH Millionaire" wallet, showing a series of 1,000 DAI deposits and corresponding ETH withdrawals (ranging from 549-549.77 ETH) to "CoW Protocol: Settlement" addresses, with a final -100.00 ETH deposit to Tornado Cash Router 13 days ago. These transactions illustrate the conversion of DAI into ETH and subsequent fund obfuscation, supporting the post's claim that a hacker used multiple linked wallets to purchase 6,358 ETH for $11.59M DAI at ~$1,823/ETH before likely attempting to launder the funds.

We believe the funds could belong to a hacker.

> **Visual Note:** A news article titled "两个黑客今日用DAI购买ETH" (Two hackers bought ETH with DAI today) describing two whales purchasing large amounts of ETH using DAI, with timestamps from 2026-07-12 showing DAI 0% and ETH +0.22%.

> "Two major hackers today aggressively dumped tens of millions into Ethereum: 0x6b175474e89094c44da98b954eedeac495271d0f, slaughtering Ethereum:native

Is this a bold bet on the bottom or a shocking money laundering scheme?
