$10M Gone: Thorchain Exploit Triggers Security Fears Across DeFi

Blockchain tracker Arkham Intelligence has identified wallets linked to a THORChain exploit, holding approximately $3 million in Bitcoin and 216 ETH. On-chain investigator ZachXBT first reported the suspicious activity, estimating total losses now exceed $10 million. The attackers moved assets like USDT, USDC, and wrapped Bitcoin across multiple chains before converting to ETH. The cross-chain trading protocol was hit simultaneously on Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Base. Security firm PeckShield confirmed the breach. Following the news, THORChain's native token RUNE dropped nearly 14%. The project's team had not issued a public statement at the time of reporting, increasing market anxiety. This incident highlights the recurring vulnerability of cross-chain infrastructure in DeFi, where complex code can create significant security risks. The stolen funds remain in the identified wallets for now.

From Theft to Re-entry: How Was $292 Million "Laundered"?

A sophisticated crypto laundering operation was executed following the $292 million hack of Kelp DAO on April 18. The attack, attributed to the North Korean Lazarus group, began with anonymous infrastructure preparation using Tornado Cash to fund wallets untraceably. The hacker exploited a vulnerability in Kelp’s cross-chain bridge, stealing 116,500 rsETH. To avoid crashing the market, the attacker used Aave and Compound as laundering tools—depositing the stolen rsETH as collateral to borrow $190 million in clean, liquid ETH. This move triggered a bank run on Aave, causing an $8 billion drop in TVL. After consolidating funds, the attacker fragmented them across hundreds of wallets to evade detection. A major breakpoint was THORChain, where over $460 million in volume—30 times its usual activity—was processed in 24 hours, converting ETH into Bitcoin. This shift to Bitcoin’s UTXO model exponentially increased tracing complexity by shattering funds into countless untraceable fragments. The final destination was Tron-based USDT, the primary channel for illicit crypto flows. From there, funds were cashed out via OTC brokers in China and Southeast Asia, using unlicensed underground banks and UnionPay networks outside Western sanctions scope. Ultimately, the laundered money supports North Korea’s weapons programs, which rely heavily on crypto hacking for foreign currency. The incident underscores structural challenges in DeFi: its openness, composability, and lack of central control make such laundering not just possible, but inherently difficult to prevent.

Inside the $282mln ZachXBT investigation – How stolen Bitcoin hit Tornado Cash

In a major social engineering attack on January 10th, an attacker stole over $282 million in Bitcoin and Litecoin from a single victim by impersonating Trezor support and tricking them into revealing their seed phrase. Blockchain investigator ZachXBT and security firm PeckShield tracked the stolen funds as the attacker used THORChain—a decentralized, non-KYC protocol—to move approximately $71 million across blockchains. The funds were then obscured using Tornado Cash mixer and swapped into privacy-focused cryptocurrencies like Monero. The theft occurred amid broader market declines, highlighting how social manipulation and cross-chain protocols are increasingly exploited for large-scale laundering.

THORChain Launches Native Cross-Chain Swap Interface in Public Beta

THORChain has launched the public beta of its native cross-chain swap interface at swap.thorchain.org. This first-of-its-kind decentralized exchange enables direct swaps of native digital assets—such as BTC, ETH, XRP, and others—across multiple blockchains without using wrapped tokens, bridges, or centralized exchanges. Key features include universal wallet compatibility, optional wallet connection, true native asset swaps, open-source architecture, and a streamlined user experience. The platform is designed to drive volume directly to THORChain while providing a trustless trading environment. The official launch is planned for Q1 2026, with plans to expand token support, improve the interface, and integrate additional protocol features based on community feedback.
