North Korea\'s Lazarus suspected of cashing out $30 million in bitcoin, raising U.S. regulatory risks

Wallets assessed to be linked to North Korea\'s Lazarus group are suspected of selling more than $30 million in bitcoin on decentralised derivatives platform Hyperliquid over the past three weeks. The funds were then converted into ether and solana and moved to centralised exchanges including Kraken, LBank and KuCoin. The activity comes as Hyperliquid pursues U.S. market entry, putting sanctions and anti-money laundering issues in focus.

Lazarus-linked bitcoin address moves 262 BTC to two new wallets

A bitcoin address linked to North Korea-associated hacking group Lazarus moved 262.2 BTC to two new addresses, splitting the funds into about 182.2 BTC and 80 BTC. Blockchain records show the transfer but there is no confirmed sign the funds entered an exchange. An analysis cited in the report said the move alone does not indicate Lazarus is selling about $16.6 million worth of bitcoin, only that the bitcoin is being moved and dispersed.

Esper says CLARITY Act is national security bill, urges swift Senate passage

Former U.S. Defence Secretary Mark Esper urged the U.S. Senate to quickly pass the CLARITY Act, calling it a national security bill rather than a financial regulation measure. He argued that regulatory gaps in digital assets could affect U.S. geopolitical influence and security, citing risks from China and North Korea using cryptocurrencies and payment infrastructure to weaken U.S. financial control. Senate action is taking shape ahead of a expected Sept. 15 vote.
