Binance hacker shuttles $430K through six self-created NEAR meme coins in three days
The Binance hacker laundered about $430,000 in stolen crypto by minting six meme coins on NEAR and routing the funds through them in just three days, according to Elliptic. The analytics firm says the tokens were all created by the hacker, turning the stolen haul into a chain of self-controlled assets.

Nothing open. Every check passed.
The hacker behind the Binance breach isn't sitting on the loot — they're running it through meme coins they built themselves. According to Elliptic, roughly $430,000 in stolen funds was moved across six meme coins created on the NEAR network, all inside a three-day window.
The tokens weren't bought off an exchange or borrowed from someone else's project. Per Elliptic, the hacker minted all six, then pushed the stolen crypto through them — a laundering pattern that turns a single stolen balance into a trail of small, self-controlled tokens.
Elliptic, a blockchain analytics firm, flagged the movement and put the figure at $430,000. The three-day pace suggests the wallet was built for speed rather than stealth: six separate tokens, one short burst of activity.
