  • The blockchain data reveals that the address sold around 226,961 UNI, accounting for around $1.36 million. 
  • The wallet has been associated with funds stolen at the time of the Indexed Finance exploit in 2021 and the KyberSwap exploit in 2023. 

An ETH address associated with past decentralised finance exploits shifted over $2 million worth of tokens after being inactive for around one year. As per Lookonchain data shared on X, the wallet named 0x3EBF sold a big portion of UNI, LINK, CRV, and YFI in only one activity. 

The blockchain data reveals that the address sold around 226,961 UNI, accounting for around $1.36 million. Along with this, 33,215 LINK, 845,806 CRV, and over 5 YFI were sold, having a worth of about $410,000, $328,000, and $17,500, respectively. 

The wallet has been associated with funds stolen at the time of the Indexed Finance exploit in 2021 and the KyberSwap exploit in 2023. Indexed Finance lost about $16.5 million after the index pools got exploited via flash loans and pricing distortions. 

After the attack, the attackers claimed that trades were valid under smart contract rules. In November 2023, KyberSwap was attacked, and its Elastic liquidity pools were withdrawn for around $49 million over various chains. 

The Increased Fraudulent Activity in 2025

The attacker identified a defect in the calculations of liquidity positions which permitted repeated extraction of funds and further exploited it. After this event, the attacker also tried to force the protocol by asking for control in exchange for giving part of the stolen assets. 

The authorities of the United States uncoiled a charge in February this year, where a 22-year-old Canadian, Andean Medjedovic, was accused of accomplishing both attacks. He was also alleged to have laundered funds via mixers and cross-chain bridges and attempted to pressure KyberSwap’s team after the attack. 

This year marked an increased activity of crypto-associated thefts. As per the data shared by Chainalysis, the total losses estimated this year lie somewhere between $2.7 billion and $3.4 billion. 

The major portion of losses was associated with centralised platforms, contrasting with previous cycles where DeFi exploits dominated. More than $2 billion in thefts, and around 60% of the total had links to North Korea. 

The incident that shook everyone’s head was the Bybit hack in February. After that a series of hacks followed, including Cetus DEX and Balancer. However, individual wallet attacks accelerated keenly and stood at around 158,000 incidents.

FORT STOCKTON, TEXAS – MARCH 24: The sun sets behind a pumpjack during a gusty night on March 24, 2024 in Fort Stockton, Texas. Employment in Texas has reached record highs, with the oil- and gas-producing Permian Basin, which covers a large swathe of west Texas, leading the way. Permian Basin towns of Midland and Odessa notched 2.6 and 3.5 percent unemployment respectively, according to the report touted earlier this month by Gov. Gregg Abbott. (Photo by Brandon Bell/Getty Images) Getty Images For the past two years, the United States has set oil production records. This growth is a continuance of the surge in oil production resulting from the shale boom that began earlier this century. According to data from the Energy Information Administration, U.S. oil production average 13.2 million barrels per day in 2024, up from 12.7 million in 2023 and 12.5 million in 2022. U.S. Oil Production 1860-2024. Energy Information Administration It is now clear that the U.S. is on track this year to set its third consecutive annual record for crude oil production. Year-to-date production through the week ending September 12, 2025 shows a production level of 13.44 million BPD, which is about 1.9% ahead of last year’s record pace. But beneath those headline numbers, a subtle shift is underway: growth is slowing. The slowdown becomes clear if we look at the year-over-year percentage changes over the past 20 years. Annual Oil Production Change 2006-2025 YTD. Robert Rapier There have been only two other periods in the past 20 years where U.S. oil production growth slowed for three consecutive years, but both of those instances had extenuating circumstances. The first was from 2014 through 2016, when a price war launched by OPEC triggered a collapse in oil prices and forced U.S. producers to slash drilling activity. The…
