North Korean hackers launch memecoins to launder funds stolen in the Binance hack, while xStocks plans to add hundreds of Hong Kong-listed equities in the coming weeks. <\/p>\n

North Korean hackers created memecoins to launder cryptocurrency stolen in the $6.3 billion Binance hack, according to a report from blockchain analytics firm Elliptic.<\/p>\n

Between Nov. 5 and 7, the hackers created at least six tokens on NEAR<\/a> and used liquidity pools on decentralized exchanges to move $430,000 of stolen funds between wallets, Elliptic said<\/a>. However, the tokens attracted almost no outside trading and were abandoned shortly after launch.<\/p>\n

Elliptic said the same laundering technique was also used following the $1.5 billion Bybit hack in 2025<\/a>, when North Korean-linked actors moved at least $24 million through a newly created token on the TRON blockchain.<\/p>\n
