**Hot Wallet Hack: Why Exchange Security Matters**
$BTC $ETH $BNB — Bitget's $351.6M hack (drained hot wallets → 68K ETH) is a stark reminder: counterparty risk is real. While $BTC hovers at $84.9K (+0.31%) and $ETH tests $2.69K (+0.63%), the biggest threat isn't volatility—it's custody.
**What happened?** Attackers breached hot wallets (online storage for daily operations). Cold wallets (offline) remained secure.
**Why Binance matters here:** $1B SAFU fund + quarterly Proof of Reserves audits reduce systemic risk. $BNB (+2.57%) reflects this trust premium during sector stress.
**Key level:** $BTC support zone $83.8K–$84.2K. Break below = invalidation of current base structure.
**Risk note:** No exchange is immune. Diversify custody (hardware wallet for long-term holdings), never store 100% on one platform, and verify reserve transparency before size matters.
Not your keys = counterparty exposure.
