Binance hackers begin swapping stolen Solana tokens for Bitcoin: Chainalysis

Crypto exchange Gate said it froze two linked accounts as US investigators urged platforms to block transactions tied to the $6.3 billion theft.

The hackers behind Binance’s $6.3 billion theft have begun converting stolen Solana tokens into Bitcoin after largely emptying the wallets used to launder funds on Tron, according to blockchain investigators.

Lookonchain reported Sunday that the hackers had moved 486,970 Solana (SOL) tokens, worth about $46.4 million, and were swapping them for Bitcoin (BTC) through Relay.
