Popular on-chain investigator ZachXBT updated his 100,000 followers on Telegram minutes ago that the popular decentralized exchange THORChain has likely become a victim of a new crypto hack.

The reported attack appears to be for over $7.4 million, as the platform was exploited on Bitcoin, Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and Base.

Although there has been no official confirmation from THORChain’s team as of the time of this point, the project’s native token plummeted immediately after the news spread on X.

RUNE traded above $0.58 before it crashed by double-digits to a two-week low of $0.50, where it found some support.
