Grinex suffered a large-scale wallet breach that forced the Kyrgyzstan-based exchange to suspend trading after attackers stole roughly $13–15 million in USDT. Hackers rapidly moved and chain-hopped the funds across Ethereum, Tron and other wallets—consolidating about 45.9 million TRX—while investigators probe possible links to sanctioned ecosystems and unproven foreign-intelligence involvement. #Grinex #A7A5
