Elliptic: North Korean Hackers Create Meme Tokens on NEAR to Launder Binance Hack Funds Blockchain analytics firm Elliptic reported that North Korean hackers are creating meme tokens and using DEX liquidity pools to launder funds stolen in the $6.4 billion Binance hack.
Between November 5 and 7, the attackers created at least six meme tokens on NEAR, each costing around $90 to launch, and routed approximately 117,000 NEAR ($430,000) through the pools to complicate fund tracing
Elliptic previously identified a similar technique in the laundering of funds stolen in the 2025 Bybit hack. — link
