Following a massive $6.3 billion theft, hackers have started exchanging stolen Solana tokens for Bitcoin, according to CoinTelegraph. This move highlights ongoing efforts by cybercriminals to launder large amounts of cryptocurrency through popular digital assets.
In response to the incident, crypto exchange Gate has frozen two accounts linked to the theft, as reported by CoinTelegraph. US investigators have also urged platforms to block any transactions connected to this breach, signaling increased regulatory vigilance in the crypto space.
