The stolen BNB and TRX did move, and fast.
106.54 BTC (about $9.1M) has already been paid out for it, through THORChain and Chainflip.

Between Aug 24 and Sep 22, two Base wallets bought $2.18 billion of tokens from pools they had filled themselves.
More than 99.9% of the USDC they paid came back to them.
The trades still count as volume, the dollar figure trackers rank tokens by.
Seven wallets tied by transfers made 71.4% of all the trading our tests flag as not real on Base.
A separate volume service made $785.5 million of round trips at almost no cost.
23,641 wallets sent transactions to one contract, across 3,120 new tokens.
The tokens carried names like OpenAI, LAPTOP and Anthropic.
Anyone can give a token any name.
OpenAI and Anthropic issued none of them.

We tested 30 days of DEX trading on six chains.
$144.1 billion of the trading in the pools we index was not real by our tests.
The share runs from 58.4% on Solana down to 1.5% on Arbitrum.
And one small group can make most of it.
On Arc, 2 wallets made 90.5% of the not-real trading.
On Base, 7 wallets made 71.4%. On Arbitrum, a single bot made 69.2%.
We name addresses only.
One person can run many wallets.
We also left $73.5 billion out of both totals.
It is loops far bigger than the pools they pass through, and trades at a price no one else paid.
Two wallets made 93% of it.

1,707 wallets traded $4.76 billion of one BNB Chain token in 30 days.
The token, quq, was worth less than $2 million.
They bought it, sold it straight back and did it again, over and over, to collect Binance Alpha points.
The same 1,262 wallets bought on all 29 full days.
And it costs almost nothing.
Overall they lost about 2 cents per $100.
The median wallet lost about $240 over the month.
Tokens on Binance Alpha's list hold half of all the trading our tests flag on BNB Chain.
We make no finding on whether any of these wallets broke Binance's terms.

We checked 30 days of Solana DEX trading in the pools we index.
By our tests, $117.7 billion of it, 58%, was not real.
About 95% of that was one move, a buy and a sell of the same token inside a single transaction.
Who makes it? Bots that look like copies.
Groups of 20 and 50 look-alike wallets made $26.3 billion.
And there are many more.
Among the 400 wallets with the most not-real volume, about seven in ten of the rest sit in smaller clusters of look-alike wallets.
Nearly half of it, $55.8 billion, ran through tokens named after stocks, funds and AI companies.
There were 254 tokens called Anthropic alone.
The names say nothing about who made the tokens.
