> The firm described TRX swaps followed by stablecoin deposits into DeFi protocols and said it was tracking the activity in real time.

Chainalysis said exploiters behind the $6.4 billion Binance theft are moving funds through Tron-based DeFi protocols to keep stablecoins from being frozen by their issuers.

The process described starts with swapping TRX for stablecoins on Tron, then depositing those tokens into decentralized finance, or DeFi, protocols. Chainalysis said the exploiters are using this route to evade freezes imposed by centralized stablecoin issuers. The firm is tracking the activity in real time.

Tron is a blockchain platform for decentralized applications and smart contracts, and it supports tokens and DeFi projects. The activity described by Chainalysis puts the network at the intersection of protocols used to move funds and stablecoins that issuers can freeze. The firm’s warning adds scrutiny to DeFi’s role in handling assets linked to the Binance exploit. Chainalysis’ description also highlights vulnerabilities where decentralized protocols meet centralized stablecoin controls. Its warning raises concerns about stablecoin security and the use of DeFi to handle illicit funds.
