Bitget CEO Asks THORChain to Block Attacker Addresses

This is a notable escalation in the recurring tension between centralized exchanges and decentralized infrastructure over post-hack cleanup. Bitget is attempting to import a compliance-style blocklist into THORChain, a protocol whose value proposition rests on permissionless access. THORChain's response will be read as a precedent: whether a DEX or cross-chain protocol can be pressured into address-level censorship, and whether that pressure comes through public appeals, validator coordination or governance. The open question is whether other exchanges facing similar incidents adopt the same playbook.
