OKX CEO Star Xu revealed that the company’s DEX aggregator is back online, now armed with a system designed to detect and block malicious activity as it happens.Xu described the platform as a gateway for users to interact with blockchain networks and decentralized apps, supporting asset management across multiple chains and delivering real-time insights from on-chain data.The relaunch follows a temporary shutdown in March after discussions with regulators. That pause came in response to the massive Bybit security breach in February, where hackers made off with approximately $1.4 billion in Ethereum and staked ETH. Investigators traced much of the stolen crypto to the Lazarus Group, a North Korean cybercrime organization. .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;} READ MORE: New Hampshire Passes First Bitcoin Reserve Law Bybit CEO Ben Zhao later confirmed that part of the laundered funds—over 23,000 ETH—were routed through OKX’s Web3 infrastructure, with around $65 million ultimately vanishing beyond traceability.Regulatory pressure mounted soon after. Bloomberg reported that EU authorities were actively examining OKX’s role in the laundering process. In response, OKX acknowledged attempts by Lazarus to exploit its DeFi tools and said the decision to suspend the DEX aggregator was made to mitigate further risks.Now, with enhanced security protocols in place, OKX aims to restore confidence while maintaining access to competitive DEX pricing across hundreds of blockchain networks. The exchange’s move signals a renewed commitment to user safety at a time when decentralized finance continues to grapple with security vulnerabilities.The post OKX Relaunches DEX Aggregator With Real-Time Threat Detection After Security Scare appeared first on Coindoo.
