Flow Foundation warns that a single deposit of approximately 150 million FLOW tokens has shaken the market, accounting for 10% of the total supply. After entering the exchange, some funds were converted into Bitcoin, quickly cashing out over $5 million, exposing vulnerabilities in the exchange's AML/KYC processes, and putting ordinary users at risk. Unusual trading activity has not received a response, further fueling public concerns.

Abstract generation in progress

Flow Foundation recently issued a warning that, shortly after the attack incident was contained, a single deposit record at a certain exchange was recorded—approximately 150 million FLOW tokens were concentrated into the platform, accounting for 10% of the total supply. According to available data, the total supply of FLOW is 1,632,655,676 tokens, and this large deposit is enough to shake the market.

Capital Flow and Exchange Activity

After the funds entered the exchange, they immediately appeared to be dispersed. Some FLOW tokens were exchanged for Bitcoin (BTC), which is currently valued at around $91.17K. Before the network interruption, the involved parties had successfully withdrawn over $5 million. This rapid cash-out behavior has attracted significant industry attention.

Regulatory Process Flaws Come to Light

Even more concerning is that this incident exposed serious vulnerabilities in the exchange’s AML/KYC processes. Large transactions failed to be effectively intercepted, and the risks were implicitly transferred to ordinary users who purchased tokens later in the market, unaware of the source of the funds.

Unresponsive Unusual Trading Data

Forensic analysis shows that the FLOW trading market on this exchange exhibited obvious abnormal trading signs before and after the incident. The Flow Foundation had requested clarification regarding this, but has yet to receive any response. This silence further deepens public suspicion about the entire event.
