THORChain co-founder Chad Barraford said THORNode operators have no information beyond what is publicly available. Barraford responded this way to the FBI's request that THORNode operators, RPC node operators, and DeFi platforms block transactions linked to the Binance attacker. Barraford said law enforcement can access the information without a court subpoena.

El FBI confirmó que el grupo norcoreano TraderTraitor llevó a cabo el robo de más de 6.000 millones de dólares de Binance la semana pasada. Agencias estadounidenses instaron a los proveedores de servicios de criptomonedas a bloquear las transacciones relacionadas con direcciones vinculadas a los activos robados. El aviso del FBI del sábado identificó más de 600 direcciones de Ethereum, menos de 20 de Bitcoin y una de Solana. Binance dijo el sábado que había reemplazado el 90 % de las criptomonedas robadas y que planeaba reanudar los retiros de clientes el domingo. Chainalysis prevé que los atacantes utilicen decenas de miles de direcciones durante las próximas semanas para blanquear los fondos.

Bitcoin’s recovery faces greater derivatives exposure and net outflows of $643 million from U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs. Bitcoin was trading at $77,367 on Saturday morning, October 31, following selling linked to the Binance security breach. Coinalyze showed $28 billion in open interest across a selection of bitcoin contracts, up 3% from the provider’s 24-hour comparison. The dollar-denominated figure does not show how much leverage traders are taking on. For the recovery to be more durable, it would require sustained spot-market demand, contained exposure, and funding costs that do not remain elevated for long for long positions.

Yishi, founder of OnKey, warned against storing cryptocurrency wallet seed phrases on the iPhone 11 or earlier models because hardware vulnerabilities cannot be fixed through iOS updates. Yishi said attackers with physical access can execute code via USB before iOS starts, even with airplane mode enabled. Yishi advised affected users to create entirely new seed phrases in a trusted environment and transfer their assets. Previously, Yishi had recommended using iPhones as cold wallets, but only iPhone 17 models or later.

The FBI said on Saturday that North Korean hackers orchestrated the theft of $6.3 billion from Binance, the largest cryptocurrency heist in history. Bitcoin and other digital currencies were stolen in a matter of minutes on Thursday. The FBI linked the attack to TraderTraitor, the entity responsible for the $1.5 billion hack of Bybit last year. Binance said on Saturday that its reserves of the same digital currencies that were stolen covered 90% of the missing assets and promised to fully reimburse its customers.

The FBI said on Saturday that the North Korean state-sponsored TraderTraitor unit carried out the $6.3 billion attack on Binance. Binance said on Saturday that the platform had replaced 90% of the stolen assets by buying tokens with company funds. Co-CEO Richard Teng pledged to replace the remaining 10% and said users would not suffer financial losses. Binance suspended customer withdrawals after the attack, but said on Saturday that it still planned to resume them on Sunday.

SpaceX shares closed Friday at $134.72, below the June IPO price of $135. Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) said Saturday that SpaceX will be among the best stocks to hold for the long term. CZ denied suggesting that Binance would sell its SpaceX shares or threatening to do so. TipRanks data show an average analyst price target of $250.34, about 86% above Friday’s close. OptionCharts data indicate that December 18 options are pricing in a move of around 14% in either direction, while Nasdaq’s calendar lists December 8 as the date of the final share unlock.

Bitcoin turns 18 today with a market capitalization of about $1.55 trillion. Researchers attribute approximately 1.1 million BTC, worth about $85 billion, to an early miner widely believed to be Satoshi Nakamoto. This month, developer T4T5 used Anthropic’s Claude to exactly reproduce preserved Bitcoin software from 2009, although the program used on launch day is still missing. Researchers have raised the possibility that future advances in AI could threaten exposed public keys, but no practical attack of that kind exists today. Bitcoin’s next challenge could be whether its decentralized community can agree on security changes before a new threat materializes.

The FBI attributed the theft of more than $6 billion in virtual assets from Binance, which occurred on or around October 29, to North Korea. The FBI called the associated malicious cyber activity “TraderTraitor.” The FBI said the attackers converted most of the stolen assets into ETH and are expected to launder the funds through DeFi and instant-exchange services. The FBI urged several types of blockchain operators and service providers to block transactions associated with the relevant addresses.

North Korean hackers may have carried out this week’s $6.3 billion attack on Binance, the largest of its kind in the crypto industry. Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, said hackers stole around $6 billion. Crypto research firms linked the attack to North Korea because of its similarities to previous attacks, but authorities have not confirmed North Korean involvement. A UN panel concluded in 2024 that cyberattacks provided close to half of North Korea’s foreign currency earnings.

Name.com said that all 15 customer domains hijacked in the attack have been restored, revising its previously confirmed figure of 12. Vercel said that 10 of the affected domains are linked to its platform. The hackers used compromised DeFi websites to steal cryptocurrency from visitors’ wallets. So far, approximately $138,000 in stolen funds have been traced to three wallets on EVM chains, excluding losses on Solana and Aptos.

Shares of cryptocurrency exchange platforms extended their steep losses as investors reacted to the $6.3 billion cyberattack on Binance and cryptocurrency prices fell. Coinbase hit $136 on Friday, its lowest level since February 2024 and 70% below its all-time high. Binance said a compromised laptop initially allowed the attacker to access its systems. The breach exposed weaknesses that could threaten other cryptocurrency companies. Coinbase and Robinhood also reported lower revenue, attributing the weakness to the crypto winter.

Binance said on Saturday that the cryptocurrency platform had replenished 90% of the assets stolen in a $6.3 billion hack. Binance said the platform would absorb the losses instead of users and had allocated $6.34 billion in company funds to cover them. Binance said the remaining 10% consisted of less liquid assets, which could take longer to acquire in sufficient quantities. TRM Labs and Chainalysis said TraderTraitor, a cybercrime group based in North Korea, appeared to be responsible for the hack. President Trump said on Friday that the Administration was investigating, but noted that it was unknown who was responsible when asked about an alleged North Korean hacking group.

The official Earn API for Jupiter Lend showed around 29 million USDC available for withdrawal at 09:25:56 UTC on October 31, after recording almost no availability the previous afternoon. Bitquery reported that only $88.89 in USDC was available for withdrawal at 16:18 UTC on October 30, compared with $416 million owed to savers in USDC. The October 31 API reading put funds available for withdrawal at around 6.6% of total assets. Jupiter’s documentation states that immediate withdrawals depend on both dynamic limits and available funds that have not been lent out, so withdrawal limits alone do not guarantee that everything can be withdrawn.
