Alleged KelpDAO Hacker Swaps ETH for BTC via THORChain
An address linked to the recent rsETH-related exploit swapped nearly all of its holdings of about 75,700 ETH, valued at roughly $175 million, into BTC over roughly 36 hours, primarily via cross-chain liquidity protocol THORChain, according to blockchain analytics cited by Wu Blockchain on X. Wu Blockchain reported that the transactions generated approximately $800 million in trading volume and about $910,000 in fees on THORChain. The activity follows an exploit involving rsETH that affected several DeFi protocols, including Aave.
