🚨🥷 BREAKING: Movements of up to $2,770M point to a massive Binance hack 🚨
Binance's former CEO and founder, CZ, stated on his X account that "Binance has apparently been hacked." Although he clarified that he no longer manages the platform, as its largest shareholder he hopes all user funds will be fully covered.
On-chain data reveal a massive outflow of funds from Binance hot wallets (primarily Binance 14) across multiple blockchain networks.
📊 Key details:
• Estimated amount: Between $2,530M and $2,770 million dollars.
• Issuer response: Tether immediately froze ~$971M in USDT, and Circle did the same with ~$823M in USDC, stopping a large portion of the loot.
• Suspicious origin: The wallet that initiated the transaction had previously been funded through the Tornado Cash mixer.
• Market impact: A sharp immediate drop. Bitcoin ($BTC) fell below $80,000, and Binance's native coin ($BNB) dropped more than 6% in a matter of minutes.
⚠️ Note: Binance's official security team reported that they are aware of the security issue report and are urgently investigating, under the assumption that "user funds are safe."
