Binance just absorbed a major hit, but the market's reaction tells a different story than Mt. Gox.
When hackers drained ~$450M from Mt. Gox, $BTC crashed 27% and dragged the entire crypto industry into a multi-year slump.
This time? Binance got hammered, but the damage is containable. The company has the balance sheet to weather it, and prices have barely moved.
The contrast shows how far crypto infrastructure and market depth have come since the Mt. Gox era.
