Germany Closes eXch, Seizes $38 Million in Crypto

Details of the Event

Germany’s Federal Criminal Police and the Frankfurt Public Prosecutor’s Office closed eXch on May 9, 2025, seizing $38 million in digital assets linked to the Bybit hack.

The event highlights the enforcement of anti-money laundering (AML) measures, impacting crypto exchange practices globally. Immediate market reactions include concerns over compliance and regulation.

eXch, an unregulated crypto swapping service, was shut down by German authorities for facilitating anonymous exchanges since 2014.

The platform’s role in laundering funds, including those from the Bybit hack, led to its closure and the seizure of major digital assets.

Authorities’ Response

The Federal Criminal Police Office and Frankfurt’s prosecutor emphasized the platform’s use in laundering crypto from criminal activities. Authorities confiscated Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin, and Dash, spotlighting non-compliance with AML regulations.

Among other things, a portion of the $1.5 billion stolen from the Bybit crypto exchange, which was hacked on Feb. 21, 2025, is said to have been exchanged via eXch. — Germany’s Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), Official Statement, German Authorities

The shutdown led to increased scrutiny of crypto market practices regarding anonymous transactions. Stakeholders are assessing the implications on global compliance standards for exchanges and potential legal repercussions.

Authorities pointed out the importance of robust AML controls within crypto exchanges, underscoring the need for verification measures. The closure of eXch demonstrates a shift towards greater transparency and regulation in the industry.

Future Implications

Analysts predict stricter regulatory frameworks for crypto operations following this enforcement. The event underscores the trend of increasing governmental action to discourage illicit financial flows, focusing on AML measures and technological scrutiny.
