Kronos Research, a Taipei-based trading, market-making, and venture capital firm, reported illegal access to its API keys on Saturday in a post on X, citing potential losses as “not a significant portion of our equity.”
In response to Kronos’ statement, blockchain researcher ZachXBT tracked recent quick outflows from a wallet totaling more than $25 million in ether, claiming that $25 million was stolen.
Following the occurrence, Kronos halted all trading, causing issues on Woo X, the exchange incubated by Kronos and on which Kronos serves as a primary market maker. Woo X said in a statement that customer funds are safe before declaring a temporary halt on some asset pairs due to the loss of liquidity caused by Kronos’ halt. Trading in spot and perpetual contracts, as well as withdrawals, have now resumed.
