News linked to both this project and an event.
According to on-chain investigator ZachXBT, on June 11, the TRON chain address TA6YHq...zCoQ received 120.2 million USDT and subsequently initiated multiple rapid transfers: over $12 million was sent to KuCoin’s deposit address; approximately $8 million was transferred to several instant-exchange platforms; and more than $8 million was bridged to the Bitcoin and Ethereum networks via the Near Intents cross-chain bridge. Additionally, this address placed a large number of Monero (XMR) buy orders, causing XMR’s price to spike briefly from $330 to $420. Minutes ago, Tether blacklisted and froze 72 million USDT in the address TBzrPE...Ak9W, which is directly linked to TA6YHq.
According to Onchain Lens monitoring, as ZEC and HYPE continue to decline, whale Loracle's 10x leveraged long position in ZEC has suffered losses exceeding $3.2 million, and the 2x leveraged long position in HYPE has lost $1.567 million. The whale also holds long positions in NEAR, TON, ASTER, and XMR, with total losses amounting to $6.65 million.
On-chain monitoring shows that a batch of funds suspected to be linked to hackers or phishing activities has recently been continuously purchasing Monero (XMR), with total purchases amounting to approximately $23 million, significantly impacting the market price.
According to on-chain analyst PeckShield (@PeckShieldAlert), RetoSwap—a peer-to-peer, decentralized exchange for Monero (XMR)—was exploited by hackers leveraging a vulnerability in the Haveno trading protocol, resulting in the theft of users’ funds totaling 7,000 XMR (approximately $2.7 million). Following the incident, the RetoSwap team responded swiftly, blacklisting the attacker’s onion address at 02:33 UTC and pausing all platform trading by enforcing an upgrade to client version 2.0.0. The attack has now been contained.
Odaily Chainalysis posted on X platform, stating that prior to the THORChain theft, wallets suspected to be linked to the attacker had been transferring funds through Monero, Hyperliquid, and THORChain for several consecutive weeks. As early as late April, the attacker-associated wallets deposited funds into Hyperliquid positions via Hyperliquid and the Monero privacy bridge. These funds were subsequently converted to USDC and transferred to Arbitrum, then bridged to Ethereum. Some of the ETH was then moved to THORChain to stake as RUNE for a newly joined node, which is believed to be the source of the attack.Subsequently, the attacker bridged a portion of the RUNE back to Ethereum and split it into four chains. One chain went directly to the attacker, passing through intermediate wallets before transferring 8 ETH to the wallet that would ultimately receive the stolen funds, just 43 minutes before the attack. The funds from the other three chains flowed in reverse. Between May 14 and 15, these wallets bridged the ETH back to Arbitrum again, deposited it into Hyperliquid, and transferred it into Monero via the same privacy bridge, with the final transaction occurring less than 5 hours before the attack commenced. As of Friday afternoon, the stolen funds remain untouched, but the attacker has demonstrated sophisticated cross-chain money laundering capabilities. The Hyperliquid to Monero path may be the next move.
