Following the KelpDAO exploit, the attacker rapidly moved 75,700 ETH, worth about $175 million, and converted nearly all of it into Bitcoin within roughly 36 hours. The swaps were mainly executed through THORChain, a cross-chain protocol that allows direct ETH-to-BTC conversions without intermediaries.
