The individual responsible for stealing $62 million in assets from decentralized exchange Curve Finance has returned some of the stolen cryptocurrency after engaging in talks on Friday. The thief transferred 4,820 ether (ETH), worth approximately $8.9 million, to Alchemix's multisig wallet. This has led to a 5% increase in the value of CRV, the governance token of Curve. The hope is that most of the stolen assets will be recovered, as Curve, Metronome, and Alchemix offered a 10% bounty for their return by August 6.
