Blockchain firms say Binance theft proceeds may take months to launder
Techmeme, citing the Financial Times, said Chainalysis and Elliptic expect it to take months to launder tokens stolen last week from Binance, using scripted automation and DeFi lending.
Chainalysis and Elliptic expect it to take months to launder billions of dollars in tokens stolen last week from cryptocurrency exchange Binance, according to a Techmeme item pointing to the Financial Times1.
Techmeme said the firms describe the work as using scripted automation and decentralized-finance lending protocols1.
The same item attributes the theft to North Korean hackers1.
The Financial Times article itself was behind a paywall in this check, so the firms' full wording and any Chainalysis primary note are not independently quoted here1.
