📰 CRYPTO NEWS
It was confirmed that hackers linked to North Korea managed to steal 18,270 BTC from Binance, a haul worth approximately $1.4 billion. To put the scale of the theft into perspective, that amount exceeds Tesla’s Bitcoin reserves and nearly doubles El Salvador’s official reserves—the first country to adopt BTC as legal tender. As if that weren’t enough, the figure is dangerously close to SpaceX’s reported holdings, falling short by just 442 coins. This makes the hack one of the largest and most significant in crypto ecosystem history, and once again puts the security of centralized exchanges at the center of the debate. It’s worth asking: as state actors with unlimited resources increasingly target the crypto world, how will this affect investor confidence and the price of Bitcoin in the short term?
