FTX Exploiter Allegedly Moving Stolen Funds, According to Speculation on Chain

The defunct FTX exchange suffered a significant hack shortly after declaring bankruptcy, resulting in over $600 million loss. Recent on-chain data reveals that the attacker has been transferring large amounts of their loot, with a total of 10,250 ETH (worth approximately $17.2 million) spread across five addresses.

Notably, a significant portion of the funds, 7,749 ETH (equivalent to around $13 million), was moved to the Thorchain router and Railgun contract, known for their privacy features in the DeFi space. Over the past day, the attacker has executed swap transactions involving 2,500 ETH (worth roughly $4.19 million),

Converting them to 153.4 tBTC at an average price of $27,281. It is speculated that the movement of funds may be related to the potential approval of Ether futures ETFs in the US. However, there is no concrete evidence to support this theory.

There are concerns that the attacker may dump their tokens if the price of ETH rallies after the approval of futures ETFs. Observers will likely monitor the address for further activity, especially since Spot On Chain has suggested that the attacker may continue to transfer ETH.
