Binance hackers moved 81% of stolen SOL
BROBROK News · Based on reporting by Cointelegraph ·
Wallets linked to the Binance exploit have moved about 81% of the stolen Solana (SOL), according to blockchain data. The funds were split across wallets and routed through USDC, ETH and BTC using cross-chain tools including THORChain.
Key points
- Arkham says the hacker-linked wallets still held 182,443 SOL.
- The attackers split funds across wallets before converting them through multiple assets.
- Lookonchain said the flow included SOL to USDC, then ETH, then BTC.
- The FBI linked the attack to North Korea’s TraderTraitor group.
- A THORChain outage briefly slowed the laundering flow before swaps resumed.
Why it matters
The incident highlights how stolen crypto can be rapidly moved across chains to complicate tracing and recovery. It also shows the role cross-chain protocols can play when large-scale exploits are being laundered.
