Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

The FBI has reportedly asked THORChain to block laundering transactions tied to the Binance hack, according to a tweet from on-chain analyst EmberCN. THORChain, a cross-chain liquidity protocol, has historically refused such requests from Bybit, Kelp DAO, and Bitget, arguing decentralization while profiting from fees on stolen funds. The FBI's direct involvement raises the stakes: compliance could deter hackers from using THORChain and cut its fee revenue, while refusal risks confrontation with US authorities. THORChain's response — and whether hackers shift to alternative cross-chain routes — is the key thing to watch.
