Blockchain data platform, Chainalysis, in a new report confirmed the seizure of $30 million worth of cryptocurrency stolen by North Korean Lazarus group. Of the $622 million in crypto lost due to the Ronin Bridge and Axie Infinity hack in March, the seized assets represent approximately 10% of the stolen funds.
This comes after leading exchange, Binance, recovered $5.8 million of stolen funds in April. This happened when the hackers tried to spread the stolen amount across 86 wallet addresses on the cryptocurrency exchange.
According to data from CoinMarketCap, AXS traded at $14.67 at press time. Since the Ronin Bridge hack, the price of the gaming token has declined by 78%. Prior to the attack, the coin traded at the $60 dollar level.
AXS has also been impacted by the decline in the general cryptocurrency market and broader financial assets market hardships. Furthermore, a drop in interest in play-to-earn blockchain games has led AXS to exchange hands at its July 2021 price level.
It has dropped by 91% since its all-time high of $165.37 10 months ago. In fact, since the hack in March, price movements on a daily chart revealed that price has since been on a decline.
