THORChain Stands by Decentralized Policy Amid Bitget Hack
Hackers stole $387.5 million from crypto exchange Bitget on September 24. Part of this money is being laundered through THORChain, which refuses to block it.
THORChain allows anyone to swap a coin on one blockchain for a coin on another without verifying their identity. Once the funds are converted into Bitcoin, no company can freeze them.
MistTrack, a blockchain tracker, noted that this has happened before. After the $1.46 billion Bybit hack last year, nearly $1.2 billion was reportedly traced through THORChain.
