The post KelpDAO Hacker Converts $175M in ETH to Bitcoin appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Following the KelpDAO exploit, the attacker rapidly moved 75,700 ETH, worth about $175 million, and converted nearly all of it into Bitcoin within roughly 36 hours. The swaps were mainly executed through THORChain, a cross-chain protocol that allows direct ETH-to-BTC conversions without intermediaries. The massive transactions pushed THORChain’s volume to around $800 million and generated about $910,000 in fees, highlighting how large-scale hacks can quickly impact liquidity, tracking efforts, and platform revenues.
