No-KYC exchange, eXch, has experienced a 900% surge in Ethereum reserves amid allegations of laundering funds from the $1.4B Bybit hack.
Significant fund movements were traced to North Korea’s Lazarus Group, sparking concerns over decentralized exchanges.
Bybit and security firms called for stricter risk controls, while eXch denied systemic wrongdoing and pledged donations to privacy-focused initiatives.
The situation raises questions about the role of non-KYC exchanges and the balance between financial privacy and combating cybercrime in the crypto industry.
