North Korean hackers launder $242 million of Binance loot via Tron as FBI presses THORChain: analyst

North Korean hackers laundered approximately $242 million of funds stolen from Binance on Tron within two days, according to onchain analyst SomaXBT. Cross-chain swap services including Relay, THORChain, Chainflip, and Symbiosis moved about $140 million off Tron, with Relay handling the largest share at $48 million. The FBI urged THORChain node operators and other services to block addresses linked to the hack, but THORChain's technical co-founder Chad Barraford did not confirm whether they would comply.
