Genesis Global also failed to stay afloat and filed for bankruptcy.

Conor Grogan, Head of Product Business Operations at Coinbase, called attention to dubious transactions carried out by anonymous wallets that were purchasing tokens minutes before Binance listing announcements and selling them during the pump. The purchase of Rar, ERN, TORN, and RAMP tokens are examples of such transactions. A $100,000 to $900,000 worth of transactions were made. The "trader" earned several million dollars over the course of several transactions. Grogan speculated that it could be either a rogue employee or a trader who might have access to the losing API.

The russian Solaris platform was hacked by the Kraken trading platform, which also targets the russian-speaking audience. Kraken claims to have taken control of Solaris' infrastructure and Gitlab repository, as well as locking and emptying its crypto wallets.

It is known for certain that Solaris used the services of pro-Kremlin hackers Killnet, which launched DDoS attacks on Ukrainian and European government servers in 2022. All Solaris clients are now automatically redirected to the Kraken website because the hackers not only took control of the code and wallets but also set up a redirect. There are three things you can watch forever: fire burning, water falling, and Russians destroying each other. It is still unknown what kind of Kraken it is. Maybe it's some of ours
