Flow experiences a massive influx of funds after attack; exchange risk control vulnerabilities trigger concerns
Flow blockchain experienced abnormal market signs shortly after being attacked. Reports indicate that a trading platform rapidly influxed over 150 million FLOW tokens within a short period, accounting for 10% of the total supply. This large influx was immediately exchanged in batches, with some converted into BTC (current price approximately $91.12K), and over $5 million was withdrawn during the window before network interruption.
Risk Control Flaws Exposed Users Become Risk Bearers
This series of operations revealed significant vulnerabilities in the AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and KYC (Know Your Customer) processes of the involved exchange. Large amounts of funds were transferred and cashed out with minimal scrutiny, transferring potential financial risks to ordinary users who later purchased FLOW on that platform.
On-Chain Data Shows Abnormal Trading Foundation Questions Unanswered
Forensic analysis found that the FLOW market on this exchange exhibited obvious abnormal trading characteristics before and after the attack, with trading patterns vastly different from normal market behavior. The Flow Foundation’s requests for clarification regarding these anomalies have yet to receive an official response from the exchange, further fueling market doubts about the source of funds and trading compliance.
This incident once again reminds investors that when choosing a trading platform, they should pay attention to the completeness of its risk control measures and whether the platform’s response mechanisms during emergencies are sufficiently rigorous.
