After around 4,000 BTC were transferred out, 3,400 BTC have been returned, but even with the funds back, that doesn’t mean the settlement function has fully resumed.
According to a report by The Block, the incident was disclosed on September 6, and a September 7 update confirmed the return progress—so it can’t be treated as an attack that happened just today.
I think in the coming days, the more direct impact on BTC will be trust pressure: the report mentions that the network was paused and LBTC deposits/withdrawals were restricted, which in turn hindered fund turnover.
If the recovery is delayed, institutions using related settlement services may raise their security requirements, thereby lowering their willingness to participate in BTC-related business.
What’s unusual is that the report cites the platform saying no authorization keys were leaked; the issue points to a software vulnerability. But simply checking key security isn’t enough.
The fact that most of the funds have been returned is a mitigating factor, and the existing materials are also insufficient to show how the market previously priced this event.
At 16:12 Beijing time on September 8, Binance BTC spot was quoted at 78,355.3 USDT, down 1.4% over the past 24 hours—this drop can’t be directly attributed to the attack.
If the network is restored, deposits/withdrawals resume normally, and there are no additional losses, then the assessment of short-term trust pressure would weaken; if abnormalities still appear after the fix, the scope of impact will need to be reassessed.
