THORChain allows for direct exchange of assets across different blockchains, a practice often used by hackers to launder stolen funds and cover their tracks.

The surge in activity coincided with ongoing controversy surrounding THORChain. In January, the protocol suspended bitcoin and ether lending after accumulating nearly $200 million in liabilities, leading to a debt restructuring plan. And while lending was suspended, swaps remained active.

Immediately after the exchange was hacked bybit created a website to track stolen and laundered funds and offered rewards to exchanges and protocols that could help freeze them. On February 27, the site listed seven bona fide participants and one unscrupulous one under the nickname eXch.
