Decentralized finance trading protocol SushiSwap is preparing to launch a claims website for whitehat funds for the protocol's April exploit, pending an audit, SushiSwap Head Chef Jared Grey said Wednesday on Discord.
“Once auditors provide the all clear, we'll make the claim site available to affected users with funds held in our whitehat address,” Grey wrote.

The announcement of the claims website’s launch comes shortly after the SushiSwap experienced a $3.3 million exploit last Sunday and promised to make its users whole.
Claims will expire on April 23 at 13:00 UTC (9 a.m. ET), according to SushiSwap. Unclaimed tokens will go to SushiSwap’s treasury.
CORRECTION: A previous version of this article conflated the protocol's Merkle contract for vested tokens for early liquidity providers with its Merkle contract for whitehat funds following the protocol's April exploit.

Stablecoin volume reached $35 trillion in 2025 as illicit share stays below 0.5%
Even as sanctions-linked networks drove $141 billion in illicit stablecoin flows last year, TRM data shows the activity represents a fraction of total transaction volume.
What to know:
- Less than 0.5% of stablecoin transactions in 2025 were tied to illicit activity, even as total stablecoin transfer volume rose nearly 20% to at least $35 trillion.
- Illicit entities received $141 billion in stablecoins in 2025, more than half of it linked to the ruble-pegged A7A5 token, whose executives dispute claims that their operations are illegal.
- Stablecoins made up 86% of all illicit crypto flows in 2025, with sanctions-related networks such as the A7 ecosystem evolving into large, centralized cross-border financial systems.
