Hacked crypto exchange DMM seals deal with SBI, accounts to open March
SBI VC Trade has sealed a deal with DMM Bitcoin to receive the hacked exchange’s assets, with DMM customers expected to transition to SBI in March.
Japanese crypto-focused finance firm SBI VC Trade has finalized a deal to receive the assets of the hacked crypto exchange DMM Bitcoin, with the exchange’s customers to have accounts ready in March.
SBI said in a Dec. 25 notice that it had agreed to accept all DMM customer accounts and assets, which will be transferred to the firm on March 8, 2025.
The firm said DMM customers won’t need to open an account with SBI as it will automatically create accounts for transitioning DMM users.
DMM Bitcoin said earlier this month that it would liquidate and transfer its customers to SBI as it couldn’t recover from a breach of its crypto wallets in May, where attackers made off with $320 million.
On May 30, DMM said its servers were breached, and the keys to wallets containing 4,500 Bitcoin BTC
$98,022 were stolen, with the attackers quickly moving the stash. The company said it would replace the stolen funds to make customers whole.
On Dec. 23, the FBI, the Department of Defense Cyber Crime Center (DC3) and Japan’s National Police Agency pinned the exploit on the North Korea-linked crime group TraderTraitor and shared details of a multi-stage heist by the group.
The FBI said a North Korean threat actor masqueraded as a recruiter on LinkedIn and contacted an employee at Japanese crypto wallet firm Ginco who maintained the software for the company’s wallet management system.
The threat actor sent the employee a malicious script pretending it was a pre-employment test, which the employee copied to their GitHub page, which was then exploited, the agency said.
Months later, in May, TraderTraitor impersonated the Ginco employee and gained access to the company’s communications. The group then likely used this access to manipulate a transaction request from DMM to nab the Bitcoin haul.

The blockchain security firm noted the hack on DMM and the $235 million hack on the India-based crypto exchange WazirX as this year’s two prominent examples.
