Binance Hackers Mint Meme Coins to Launder Stolen Crypto, Elliptic Says

The notable shift here is tactical rather than technical: meme coins are being repurposed as laundering infrastructure, exploiting the liquidity and anonymity that make these tokens attractive to speculators. Elliptic's finding suggests analytics firms are now tracking a laundering playbook that trades on the noise of low-cap token markets, which could complicate attribution for exchanges and compliance teams monitoring suspicious pool activity. Whether this meme-coin routing becomes a repeatable method or stays isolated to this exploit is the open question worth watching.
