🔍 On-Chain Detective | SomaXBT: Arkham mislabeled address is actually a Thorchain vault
BlockBeats reports that November 2, on-chain analyst SomaXBT posted questioning Arkham’s assessment that “Binance hacker deposited funds to an exchange.” Arkham previously stated that the Binance incident’s hacker deposited approximately 3 Binance deposit addresses 4000000 USD and believed these addresses might correspond to nested services. SomaXBT pointed out that address TH1YKH9...XAcpPrMv8B was mistakenly labeled as a hacker address and is actually an Thorchain Asgard vault. The related deposits to Binance were not made directly by the hacker, but paid from Thorchain accounts, including thor1g3mlm0...fyn799e8ya、thor1kqsy8... 5zw3uk2, and provided a vault verification link for comparison.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
This is a dispute over the ownership of an on-chain address. Arkham interpreted the relevant fund flow as a hacker depositing funds to Binance an exchange; SomaXBT believes that one of the addresses belongs to an Thorchain Asgard vault, and therefore the relevant transfers cannot be directly interpreted as deposits made by the hacker themselves.
Why it matters to readers
If address labels are incorrect, assessments of the source and flow of approximately 4000000 USD funds may also change, affecting how the public understands the relevant security incident.
Beginners should note that on-chain address labels and interpretations of fund flows may be disputed; when encountering conclusions such as “hacker deposits,” distinguish verified facts from analysts’ judgments.
