Crypto industry is ‘cooked’ when it comes to dealing with hacks, money laundering – ZachXBT

Blockchain investigator ZachXBT has recently highlighted major concerns regarding the crypto industry’s ability to address security breaches and illicit fund movements, particularly in the aftermath of the recent Bybit hack. His involvement in freezing funds from this hack has shed light on the persistent vulnerabilities and inadequate responses that allow malicious actors to exploit weaknesses on a large scale.

ZachXBT emphasized that the root cause of many of these exploits lies in the fundamental flaws present in both decentralized and centralized platforms. His research revealed that certain “decentralized protocols” garner a significant portion of their volume and revenue from illicit actors, including entities such as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK). These platforms often shirk responsibility for enabling illicit financial activities, while centralized exchanges frequently delay responding to verified threat intelligence, enabling stolen assets to be laundered within minutes.

Furthermore, existing know-your-transaction (KYT) solutions designed to detect illicit fund movements are often circumvented, and know-your-customer (KYC) measures falter due to compromised user data and the ability to purchase accounts. ZachXBT underscored that KYC issues are not unique to the crypto industry but reflect broader regulatory failures in financial oversight.

Despite recognizing the risks associated with excessive government intervention, ZachXBT expressed skepticism regarding the industry’s ability to self-regulate effectively. He identified several barriers to meaningful reform, such as the lack of rapid-response teams at large exchanges and services capable of addressing verified threat intelligence in real-time. Additionally, platforms frequently fail to support users affected by hacks, sometimes withholding account data to mitigate liability. The legal recovery process for victims is often slow, with certain exchanges resisting efforts to return stolen funds.

Centralized stablecoin issuers have been criticized for failing to block addresses directly linked to major hacks, allowing illicit actors to retain access to stablecoin liquidity. Compliance tools used by major firms like Coinbase and Circle reportedly do not consistently flag illegal activity. Meanwhile, certain decentralized protocols continue to overlook their design flaws despite the majority of their transaction volume originating from illicit sources.

ZachXBT also highlighted issues with new blockchain networks and cross-chain bridges that neglect basic analytics and security measures. He specifically pointed out over-the-counter trading clusters in China operating on Tron, which handle substantial amounts of illicit funds with minimal oversight.

While ZachXBT does not advocate for increased government oversight, he underscored the crypto sector’s failure to proactively address security gaps. Without industry-wide enhancements in incident response, stablecoin issuer policies, and analytics integration, the problem is unlikely to be resolved. ZachXBT’s research suggests that illicit actors currently hold an advantage over the industry’s security measures.

    By addressing these critical issues and implementing comprehensive security measures, the crypto industry can work towards mitigating security breaches and illicit fund movements, ultimately fostering a more secure and trustworthy ecosystem for all stakeholders involved.
