ChainCatcher reported, citing on-chain sleuth Specter, that an unknown entity withdrew 31 BTC worth $1.98 million from Wasabi Mixer minutes earlier. The funds were then bridged to Ethereum and swapped for 1,059 ETH. After that, the wallet created a new Polymarket account named "yamal19" and deposited the assets onto the prediction market platform. As of now, the account has bought $1.16 million worth of YES shares on the market titled "Spain will win the 2026 FIFA World Cup." The sequence of transfers, the cross-chain conversion, and the subsequent position on Polymarket were all described as part of Specter’s monitoring.
