Relay Reports Route Disruptions in Bid to Block Binance-Hack Funds

Relay, a cross-chain bridge protocol, reported route disruptions as it moved to block funds linked to the Binance hack, stating no user action is needed while it works with Binance and law enforcement to screen hacker-linked addresses. The disruptions affect Relay's bridging routes, which connect liquidity across multiple blockchain networks, and the protocol is screening addresses tied to the exploit in coordination with Binance's security team and authorities. The move matters because cross-chain bridges have historically been prime targets for laundering stolen funds, and proactive blocking by infrastructure providers can freeze or slow hacker movements across chains. The article did not specify affected chains, token amounts, or TVL figures, and no specific token prices or volumes were disclosed. Watch for updates from Relay and Binance on the total value of hacker-linked funds intercepted, whether bridging routes are fully restored, and any law enforcement action against identified addresses.
