North Korean Hackers Launder $242M Binance Funds
North Korean hackers moved $242 million (USD) in stolen Binance funds through Tron, an analyst told The Block, as the FBI reportedly presses THORChain over its role.
Can decentralized bridges and protocols ever fully block state-sponsored laundering without adding the kind of centralized controls they were built to avoid? If regulators pressure protocols like THORChain into compliance measures, does that change what decentralization means in practice? The answer could shape how bridges operate for years, balancing open access against the risk of becoming tools for large-scale theft.
