    ​​THORChain: North Korea's Exit to BitcoinNorth Korea's TraderTraitor hackers swap their loot into bitcoin through THORChain: 84% of Bybit's, ~73% of Bitget's, ~60% of Kelp's. THORChain refuses to block them.Binance looks like the exception at ~5%, but 44% of that loot is frozen and 46% hasn't moved. About half of what was laundered went through THORChain: 219M XRP into 3,239 BTC.It pays. The 23 laundering days of 2026 brought THORChain 37% of its fees for the year ($6.7M of $18.2M). Its 3 best fee days were all laundering days.The hacker pays only ~0.2% per swap. Most of the extra fees come from arbitrage bots refilling the pools it drains.
