Thorswap, a decentralized exchange based on ThorChain, is temporarily transitioning into maintenance mode due to a rise in potentially illicit funds moving through the platform. This move comes after the FTX hacker transferred 22,500 ETH ($38 million) this week, including swapping ether for bitcoin through ThorChain. Thorswap consulted with legal experts, advisors, and law enforcement agencies and will remain in maintenance mode until a more permanent and robust solution can be implemented. The FTX hacker holds over 163,000 ETH ($275 million) in ether across several wallets and is known for suspicious withdrawals from the collapsed crypto exchange FTX.
