THORChain's September income hit a record $3.01 million, with 63% generated during a five-day surge linked to the Bitget hack, as the protocol rejected calls for intervention. The cross-chain exchange's swap volume climbed to $2.40 billion, its highest since June 2025. Approximately $1.9 million of the income was generated between Sept. 25 and Sept. 29, coinciding with funds linked to the Bitget exploit moving through the network. THORChain defended its position against selective intervention, citing its decentralized and permissionless nature.
