North Korea launders Binance funds with Elon Musk memecoin, report
Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
North Korea-linked hackers who stole $6.4 billion from Binance are reportedly laundering the proceeds through memecoins on TRON, Solana, and NEAR, including an Elon Musk-themed token. The funds are being moved across multiple chains rather than held in stablecoins, complicating tracing efforts. The scale of the theft makes it one of the largest crypto heists tied to state-sponsored actors. Investigators are watching on-chain flows for further swaps and bridge activity.
