Bitcoin Magazine Binance Hackers Swap About $50 Million of Stolen XRP Mostly Into Bitcoin, Elliptic Says
Hackers tied to the record Binance theft have begun converting a large slice of the stolen XRP into bitcoin, blockchain analytics firm Elliptic said in an update dated through Friday, with about 42 million XRP — roughly $50 million — already swapped, mostly through THORChain.
Converted bitcoin from other stolen assets nearly doubled overnight to about 1,650 BTC, worth some $124 million, Elliptic wrote . Most of that jump came from the XRP route. About 192 million XRP, roughly $226 million, remained unswapped in addresses linked to the Binance theft.
