Dormant Exploit-Linked Wallet Moves $2M in UNI, LINK, CRV, and YFI

  • The blockchain data reveals that the address sold around 226,961 UNI, accounting for around $1.36 million. 
  • The wallet has been associated with funds stolen at the time of the Indexed Finance exploit in 2021 and the KyberSwap exploit in 2023. 

An ETH address associated with past decentralised finance exploits shifted over $2 million worth of tokens after being inactive for around one year. As per Lookonchain data shared on X, the wallet named 0x3EBF sold a big portion of UNI, LINK, CRV, and YFI in only one activity. 

The blockchain data reveals that the address sold around 226,961 UNI, accounting for around $1.36 million. Along with this, 33,215 LINK, 845,806 CRV, and over 5 YFI were sold, having a worth of about $410,000, $328,000, and $17,500, respectively. 

The wallet has been associated with funds stolen at the time of the Indexed Finance exploit in 2021 and the KyberSwap exploit in 2023. Indexed Finance lost about $16.5 million after the index pools got exploited via flash loans and pricing distortions. 

After the attack, the attackers claimed that trades were valid under smart contract rules. In November 2023, KyberSwap was attacked, and its Elastic liquidity pools were withdrawn for around $49 million over various chains. 

The Increased Fraudulent Activity in 2025

The attacker identified a defect in the calculations of liquidity positions which permitted repeated extraction of funds and further exploited it. After this event, the attacker also tried to force the protocol by asking for control in exchange for giving part of the stolen assets. 

The authorities of the United States uncoiled a charge in February this year, where a 22-year-old Canadian, Andean Medjedovic, was accused of accomplishing both attacks. He was also alleged to have laundered funds via mixers and cross-chain bridges and attempted to pressure KyberSwap’s team after the attack. 

This year marked an increased activity of crypto-associated thefts. As per the data shared by Chainalysis, the total losses estimated this year lie somewhere between $2.7 billion and $3.4 billion. 

The major portion of losses was associated with centralised platforms, contrasting with previous cycles where DeFi exploits dominated. More than $2 billion in thefts, and around 60% of the total had links to North Korea. 

The incident that shook everyone’s head was the Bybit hack in February. After that a series of hacks followed, including Cetus DEX and Balancer. However, individual wallet attacks accelerated keenly and stood at around 158,000 incidents.

Here’s Why Pepeto Outpaces Blockdag, Layer Brett, Remittix, And Little Pepe

The post Here’s Why Pepeto Outpaces Blockdag, Layer Brett, Remittix, And Little Pepe appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 19 September 2025 | 01:39 Remember the last cycle’s quiet presales that nobody noticed, until they rewrote portfolios by launch week? Presales can flip a portfolio fast and, when chosen wisely, rewrite outcomes in a single cycle. That’s why we skip slogans and go straight to receipts, what’s live, audited, and usable right now, rather than airy roadmaps that drift as narratives cool for months. This review keeps the language clear, the pace lively, and the focus tight: real utility, real traction, real proof. If you want a clean read before the next leg higher leaves you watching, start here. Facts first. Noise later. In this head-to-head, we stack Pepeto (PEPETO) against Blockdag, Layer Brett, Remittix, and Little Pepe with plain benchmarks: team intent and delivery, on-chain evidence, tokenomics clarity, DEX and bridge readiness, PayFi rails, staking plans, and listing prep. The goal is simple, separate what’s shipping from what’s promised so you can decide without guesswork. We also weave in search-friendly cues, Blockdag, Layer brett, Remittix, Little. Pepe, so this version can rank cleanly while staying human, varied, and non-formulaic. Pepeto’s Utility Stack: Meme coin With A Determined Team Pepeto (PEPETO) treats the meme coin brief like a product mandate, not a punchline. The team ships fast, sweats details, and shows up weekly, aiming for staying power rather than a one-week pop. PepetoSwap, a zero-fee exchange, is hard-capped and routes every trade through PEPETO, turning activity into built-in demand instead of empty buzz. It reads less like theater, more like a working loop. Already 850+ projects have applied to list, fertile ground for volume if those approvals go live. A native cross-chain bridge adds smart routing that unifies liquidity, trims extra hops, and cuts slippage, so more swaps touch PEPETO and more usage compounds into the token.…
