Thorchain Glitch Blocks Binance Hack Route as FBI Presses Nodes
AI summary
A one-block Ethereum reorganization on Saturday caused a double refund of 10 ETH on Thorchain, forcing an emergency pause that disrupted cross-chain swaps across most supported networks. Chainalysis said the malfunction inadvertently delayed laundering of funds tied to Binance's $6.4 billion theft, while the FBI urged Thorchain node operators to block related transactions. Traders should watch RUNE and cross-chain liquidity, as the outage and law-enforcement pressure raise operational and compliance risk for the protocol.
