According to a tweet from France’s police department, two people have been arrested in connection with an attack on the decentralised finance (DeFi) protocol Platypus. Platypus said it has recovered 2.4 million USDC and 687,000 BUSD of the $9 million in stolen assets, and it has also worked with Tether to freeze 1.5 million USDT. As part of the arrest, French police seized approximately $220,000 in cryptocurrency. USDC, USDT, and BUSD are all stablecoins designed to mirror the value of fiat currencies such as the US dollar. The protocol’s team thanked Binance and ZachXBT in a tweet for their assistance in determining the identity of the attacker.
