Recently, Binance-listed altcoin GMX was hacked and $42 million was stolen.
Following the hack news, the GMX price dropped sharply in a short time.
However, the GMX hacker agreed today to return $42 million in assets in exchange for a $5 million reward. “Okay, funds will be returned later,” the attacker wrote in an on-chain message, accepting the reward offered by the GMX team.
The GMX hacker accepted the $5 million white hat bounty and began returning the stolen funds.
According to Lookonchain, the hacker has returned 10.49 million worth of Frax (FRAX) tokens so far.
The remaining $32 million was converted to Ethereum after the hack.
The 11,700 ETH, currently worth $35 million, generated $3 million in profits.
At this point, the hacker's next move is a matter of curiosity. Whether the hacker will return the entire 11,700 ETH he holds or the initial amount he stole is a matter of curiosity. If the hacker only returns the initial $32 million ETH, they will be left with approximately $3 million in ETH.
“Will the hacker return the full 11,700 ETH ($35 million), or will he sell ETH to return $32 million and make a $3 million profit?”
The hackers return of the stolen funds was met with positive response from the market, with the GMX price increasing by 15.1% in the last 24 hours and continuing to trade at $13.24.
The #GMX hacker chose to return the stolen $42M assets for a $5M white-hat bug bounty.
Currently, $10.49M $FRAX has been returned.
Another $32M assets had been swapped into 11,700 $ETH, which is now worth $35M—netting a ~$3M gain.
